Diesel / petrol banned by 2040 what do we do then

Think tax, Govt don't cut off revenue unless the next stream is planned. 23yrs?, Politicians?, promises?

There won't be room to move so we will all be in statics.

I'll only be 95 by then ans so I'm really concerned....won't be able to sleep tonight now!!

An hour after posting my comment I was reading a technical magazine and what did I see - VW have produced a concept battery version of its classic camper. It's called the ID Buzz. So there you have it.

Can you provide a link to this government announcement please.

Do you mean French government?

I'm assuming it refers to the French government's plans and have therefore ignored it until it's something the UK decides to copy 

I'll be affected if it's introduced here but I'll probably not be touring so can't get too excited 

Despite improved efficiencies in petrol/ diesel engines I think that a ban is likely at some point, albeit delayed, due to rising requirements to reduce harmful emissions. Battery power, despite weight reduction and increased efficiency, suffers weight, capacity and the inefficient creation of recharging electricity, so is unlikely to dominate in the coming decades. Perhaps the combustion of hydrogen, created chemically within the vehicle, might suitably bridge today's automobile engine technology with power requirements. There are most certainly efforts to create portable hydrogen generators with sufficient output to power vehicles, currently under way.

Me neither; crematoria use gas

I suppose the French setting fire to our internal combustion vehicles on the dockside will make a change from English lamb.
