what are Europeans looking to buy? laws are one thing.. demand drives sales.
>With the rule softened, the clean transport advocacy group Transport & Environment, quoted by [*Reuters*](https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/eu-proposals-set-limit-ev-sales-2035-says-campaign-group-2026-02-02/), **estimates that around 85% of all new cars sold in the EU after 2035 are still expected to be fully electric.**
….what will Chinese offerings look like in the EU by 2030?
**First BYD Production Line Equipment Arrives in Hungary**

EU was crazy to think they could force a complete market changeover in 15 years. Sure, they could make manufacturers change over, but the *market* would never accept being forced more or faster than it wanted.
I can understand retaining the plug-in hybrid market for a while. BYD’s 75mpg Seal DM-I is an example of what is possible. Local trips are all electric. Long distance runs are augmented by an onboard petrol generator.
The lads showed us how this was done 17 years ago with the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust.
Just plain stupid. ICE is dead, the world needs to make it so. Knuckle draggers be damned.
This’ll just cause legacy OEMs to delay EV innovation while china steams ahead of them even more surely
I love to see the EU wake up and realize they are one self absorbed decision away from being ‘added’ to Russia.
EV isn’t the answer you think it is
Ask your favorite AI to show you NFPA 13 studies of the hazard and detail that we can’t put out an EV fire
Gas burns but I got 2 extinguishers at Costco that are rated for gas.
In Wisconsin 2 years ago a EV fanatical family died in a Tesla when self driving didn’t take the curve and put them in a tree and they all died.
‘Flamethrower like’ flames, you don’t get how fast this propagates
Maybe the sodium ion safety profile will make it more reasonable
if they are that worried just require all gas cars to be hybrids
Now do California
Ban is meaningless. Market forces are moving faster than government mandates. EVs are better cars for less money.

There was no point in wasting time and effort and political capital on banning new i.c.e cars in 2035. There won’t be many customers for them by then. So it was a wise and pragmatic decision to drop the issue.
They didn’t need to ban ICE cars in the first place.
Put a pollution tax on gasoline and the market will figure it out.
They never were going to.
It’s a very European thing to set unrealistic deadlines/goals in order to get things moving faster than they would otherwise. That’s all this ever was.
Now the talk is of being at all „electrified cars“ by 2035 and saying that was the original intent. Whatever.
Europe is moving along well. Not a lot to complain much about so far.
No one wants to buy a disposable car.
Europe needs to burgeon EV charging stations before EVs can truly take off. 2035 ban was unrealistic. I’d say more 2060-2070 decade when 80%+ of car drivers choose EV.
Everyone is writing about the problems car makers have, but we don’t have the charging infrastructure. Much of the EU lives in apartments with cars parked outside and there is little to no charging infrastructure.
Who didnot see that coming??? Well, except for sheeps listening to bs from politicians….
The West really just decided to stick its collective head in the sand. The race is over and China won.
