Europe Reverses Plan to Ban Combustion Engine Cars
TL;DR Summary
The European Union has scaled back its plan to ban the sale of new combustion engine cars by 2035, now allowing 10% of new cars to be hybrids or internal combustion engines, due to pressure from car manufacturers. This move is seen as a setback for EU climate goals, which aim for carbon neutrality by 2050, and reflects industry concerns over energy costs and competition. The decision has raised environmental concerns, as it may slow progress in reducing vehicle emissions.
