7 Countries That May Ban Gas & Diesel Cars
“We are announcing an end to the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2040,” Nicolas Hulot, France’s fresh ecology minister, said last month, adding that the stir was a “veritable revolution.” It looks like England may go after suit. Jesse Norman, from England’s Department for Transport has announced, “a manifesto commitment for almost all cars and vans on our roads to be zero emission by 2050. We believe this would necessitate all fresh cars and vans being zero emission vehicles by 2040.” How many countries are actually moving in the direction of eventual gas and diesel car bans?
It’s not just France and England. Nations worldwide are looking to give up the gas pump. NBC News reports, “At least four [other] countries intend to go one hundred percent zero-emissions vehicles.” Check out which countries below…
- Norway has laid out the most aggressive plans. It wants to get there by 2025. It helps that a total 24% of the vehicles sold in this oil-rich nation already are battery-electric.
- India wants to get all of its vehicles switched to battery power by 2030 — and that means it not only wants to end the sale of internal combustion vehicles but convert or substitute all other vehicles already on the road by the end of the next decade.
- The Netherlands already has a relatively high EV sales rate, about 6% of its total fresh vehicles, but it has yet to formally lock down a switch to electrical vehicles that some would like to implement by as early as 2025.
- Germany may also thrust to end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2030, but there is strong opposition.
It’s also reported that, “While it has not laid out formal plans to block sales of internal combustion vehicles, China has been pushing ever closer… to increase sales of so-called Fresh Energy Vehicles. There are now rigorous thresholds on the number of fresh vehicles that can be registered in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, but qualified NEV models are exempt, encouraging buyers to shift. With some of the world’s most polluted cities, some observers believe China could call for an outright ban on internal combustion technology in the not-too-distant future.”
While China is leading Asia in efforts to shove electrified vehicles forward, The Guardian reports that ING Bank is predicting a sea switch in Europe too: “battery-powered vehicles [will soon be] accounting for 100% of registrations in two thousand thirty five across the continent… the car industry faces an imminent technology disruption.” ING Bank concludes that, “the internal combustion engine car industry will have been long decimated by 2040.”

Does Big Oil anticipate the threat from electrified vehicles? According to Bloomberg, ” Big Oil just woke up to [the] threat of rising electrified car request… OPEC quintupled its forecast for sales of plug-in EVs, and oil producers from Exxon Mobil Corp. to BP Plc also revised up their outlooks in the past year.” Many are concluding that the “growing popularity of EVs increases the risk that oil request will stagnate in the decades ahead, raising questions about the more than $700 billion a year that’s flowing into fossil-fuel industries.” On the other side of this equation, Bloomberg forecasts the leader in electrical vehicles will be Tesla.
