This is a topic that people don’t stop talking about. Sale of thermal machines in 2035 was officially confirmed by the European Commission Several days.
This decision was made after much debatein particular in the matter of synthetic fuel, which is Germany staunch defender.
2050 goals
This time it is so officiallyonly cars will emit no CO2 in the atmosphere, who will have the opportunity to be sold
We’re talking here electric cars but also hydrogen and finally cars with synthetic fuel.
But old thermal machines will always be able to circulate in all of Europe.
Therefore, it will be necessary on the second-hand market return get car. Indeed, an electric car a certain costwhich has as result will have to wait 2050 year minimum see less thermal machines in circulation
The carbon footprint is often worse than oil!
Take (for example) a thermal car sold in 2035 in Germany.
If it runs on synthetic fuel produced from a German electric blend, it will have higher emissions (!) than gasoline carspic.twitter.com/yXtW86aS3x

Future price reduction
but what are the consequences can this decision have on car prices? Indeed, it is obvious that not all French people will be able to buy electric car, through its price is too high.
But it’s coming fateful date 2035 is very likely that price thermal machines know reduction. In any case, this is the assessment of Luc Chatel, president of the French automotive platform.
ZFE to block traffic
Even if internal combustion cars still can circulate only after 2035 some places in Europe.
