The petrol ice is looking to be Close to it's end as well, why put alot of resources into it? Flamesuit on 😇


Thank you chicken little !

You can take whatever suit you are wearing off for awhile Because BMW will be selling internal combustion engines for another couple of decades, Even with a deadline of 2040 in Europe.

The US will be slower to transition and will have to be dragged forward into any change. People complain about stop start here.

The US couldn't transition to obviously better quality HDTV without delay, the government mandated date kept getting pushed back !
But that's the thing. US is not the priority it once was. Norway (where i live) have said no ice from 2025. GB and France are saying 2040, India 2030. China is along these dates as well. And Paris, London, Stuttgart and München are stating 2030 as a deadline for the ice. That's only a decade away. What Brand will invest alot in ice when these dates Keep getting closer. Besides, What US really «want» isn't really what drives the industry these days.
