So I'd expect most other EU countries to follow.

Volvo have already announced they're going electric only, and they're owned by the Chinese, so China is also moving in that direction.

Oh and I've just seen this - Autoexpress reckon it won't include a ban on hybrids

Is everybody near a motorway service station? Just think of how many vehicles are used in a day and that is how many will have to be recharged each day. Imagine the queues.
