Yah. Some valid points there. It will be an interesting decade. But all manufacturers need to start thinking long term as some countries, states, provinces already have laws in place banning new sales of anything with a tail pipe. I don’t much about auto industry ramp up periods but if car companies don’t want to lose market share they will have to be ready. Toyota is being looked at as extremely vulnerable as Britain, California and some fairly big regions of Europe start in 2035. BC and Quebec are 2040. Oregon and Washington are kicking 2035 and 2040 around right now. I think Norway is 2035 as well. There is a website out there with all the dates but can’t seem to find it.

Interesting times.

Cheers.

The N. American 1/2 ton trucks really don't sell in Europe or UK. At least not in numbers big enough for the manufacturers to care.

2040 is at least a couple model generations out, so no reason to expect a panic move by the Big 3. Sure they will dabble but a PHEV that works and sells will settle down most moderate politicians enough that the extremists get voted down.
