What finish date? No one has said anything about taking our cars away. The government has only proposed a ban on petrol and diesel car sales in 2035. This clearly does not extend to cars that are already on the road before then. In any event, personally, I doubt this will actually materialise. Rather, this is likely a tactic to keep the eco-warriors quiet. I highly doubt the government will genuinely commit to banning the sale of all internal combustion vehicles without having the guarantee of a viable alternative. Currently, battery technology is simply inadequate, especially, when you think of large articulated lorries.
