In 2022 the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. state of California approved regulations banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Plug-in hybrids, full electrics and hydrogen cell vehicles would all count toward the zero-emission targets, though auto makers will only be able to use plug-in hybrids to meet 20% of the overall requirement. The regulation will impact only new-vehicle sales and affects only manufacturers, not dealerships. Traditional internal-combustion vehicles will still be legal to own and drive after 2035, and new models can still be sold until 2035. Volkswagen and Toyota have said they aim to sell only zero-emission cars in Europe by that time.

make it easy for private vehicle companies to build them, to encourage users to buy their products. government just needs to allow them to build

No, I am skeptical about the viability of electric vehicles and we should be focusing more on improving public transportation.
@9G73HMY1yr1Y
NO. The petrol station network was built privately and so should the electric charging network. The government should make sure the power grid is able to cope.
@9G5SKNH1yr1Y
we don't have the infrastructure to supply the power required. rebuild the systems then build the stations
@9G4MBY31yr1Y
Why on earth is the goverment not pushing hydrogen vehicles?? Alot more sustainable then electric vehicles. One example is that there are electric vehicles on Stuart Island which uses Diesel generators to create electricity for the Island to charge those electric vehicles
@9G4LNY51yr1Y
We should be mining lithium if nz support ev’s that’s why we should be investing in hydrogen not EV,
@9G3BNLC1yr1Y
Yes, but not at the expense of building a network of well-functioning public transport options across the nation, and particularly in the major cities. Electric vehicle use may reduce carbon emissions, but doesn't solve the congestion problem, and it doesn't take into account the other issues with single vehicle use like tyre wear & dust, brake dust, the environmental cost of building roads, and also the disposal of old electric cars especially batteries. Public transpost must be prioritised over electric vehicles, but any network of charging stations should use renewable energy sources.
@9FYYH6J1yr1Y
Electric vehicle’s are going to cause havoc in the long run because there is no safe way to dispose of their batteries!
