Think I'll be lucky if am still driving by 2040, but Wow!

It's in all the media, but here's one version.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40723581

Trucks and buses too I assume?

And river craft?

Compressors?

Generators?

I think it's getting close to time to buy popcorn and simply sit back to see how the show pans out.

On the other hand this is entirely in line with my predictions of how the electric everything concept will be progressed.

People will, presumably, have to assume that this will happen so at what point does the existing ICE market become highly disrupted?

What are the life expectancies (i.e. deprecation to write-off values) that individual buyers and lease companies are prepared to accept as the next 20 years passes by?

Which countries around the world will not be able to adapt to electric only but will be active dumping grounds for ICE powered transport booted out by the enlightened industrialised nations?

(Or will the industialised nations insist that their detritus be scrapped not sold on?)
