TL;DR Summary

All new cars sold in the European Union must be zero-emission vehicles starting in 2035, as part of the EU's plan to address climate change. The plan also requires a 55% drop in average emissions of new cars by 2030. The US has similar efforts to phase out gas-powered cars, with several states announcing future bans on gas-powered vehicles beginning in 2035. However, challenges remain, including the high cost of electric cars, China's dominance of the electric battery supply chain, and a lack of charging infrastructure.
