No IC motorcars to be sold 9years hence. Will that make our cars more valued I wonder? Chris.S.

Certainly to those who wisely already own one. Or two.

This idea is a good one but it won't happen, the money made from oil is too great so big money will change hands to make it go away. There's also an issue of big oil suppliers in the middle east not having anything to trade with, no sales means countries will run out of money, no money means no food and there will be conflict. There are many countries that cannot grow their own foods because the lands are barren, they have oil to sell and their economies work alongside oil supplies to western nations. I think it will put east against west very fast should it happen.

A lot in what you say. That part of the world is on a knife edge anyway being virtually entirely dependent on oil. It is also fractious and descends into anarchy at the best of times. Volatile in the extreme.

I have a strange feeling that after 2030 it will be financially ruinious to own a vehicle with an ICE engine.
