There is no way we will have 0 fossil fuel vehicles in 15 years in the US. This isn't the place to have a discussion about that topic so if you'd like to DM me about it or go to the offtopic forum we can continue it there.
I don't think he meant 0 total, but 0 produced isn't to crazy, maybe a stretch, but not crazy. Haha
it's crazy considering most people don't understand what it would take for that sort of shift. Too many industries could not make that change so fast alongside the public. Oil is in everything whether people like it or not it's hard finding a product that has no Trace to oil in some way.
I thought we were talking about car fuel here. I'm not saying shift to no oil. I'm saying that no more petrol or diesel cars being produced as new in 15 years is a stretch but technically possible.
Maybe in the EU if it's completely forced but it's not the what idea. there needs to be a transitional period of at least 15-20 years because infrastructure needs to catch up. Even adding thousands of stations with chargers per year they will still be behind.
No new fossil cars to be sold by 2030 in EU. Sweden's environmental minister wants to take it even further. To ban all fossil cars by 2030.
