    Here is an online snippet:

    "By the end of the decade, the only Volvo you'll be able to purchase will be electric. And you'll only be able to buy it online.

    The Chinese-owned carmaker announced plans on Tuesday to stop selling cars that run on fossil fuels by 2030, part of an accelerating trend within the industry to respond to pressure to tackle the climate crisis. It also said that its new electric vehicles will only be sold online.
    The Swedish brand said that as part of the transition, it wants half of its sales in 2025 to be electric cars, and the other half hybrids. That means it will stop selling vehicles powered solely by gasoline or diesel just four years from now."

    Only two items are still up in the air, will an even better battery (something like the solid state one) come to market, and will the price of all electrics come down such that they are cheaper to buy than the polluters.

    This is why this administration is doing everything it can to drive up the cost of gas. No one wants an electric car with their freedom of choice when gas is 2 bucks. Gas may go to 6-7 bucks not that long from now. Your electric bill with skyrocket too. So even recharging your car will not be so economical when everybody is using electric to recharge their cars. It’s all part of the global reset where they bring you to your knees, then redistribute as they see fit.
