This is one of those stupid no news events
The government have probably spent millions working up to this declaration, and here are the BUTS as i see them, ( bet my ass they dont have an answer tho)
Second hand car prices will rocket i recon, as will speculative purchase of cars that can be sold second hand, might be worth hanging on to your old bangers..
The idiots in charge get 5 % of all tax income from fuel, i can only assume they will tax the electricity you charge your car with as they can ill afford to lose the income.
The one thing that for me maks it a no news event, in 23 years, manufuacturers probably wont be making petrol cars anyway, the advances in batteries over the last 5 years has been amazing, ( LiPo), electric cars are torquier ergo faster.. ( not sure the idiots in charge will have included hybrids in their ban)
It just seems like a pointless declaration
