In some countries a transition to electric vehicles appears, slowly but surely, to be underway.

A number of governments are attempting to phase out diesel and gasoline vehicles in favor of low and zero emission ones.

The Ifo's study, which was undertaken on behalf of the German Association of the Automotive Industry, illustrates some of the potential challenges ahead as governments attempt to phase out diesel and gasoline vehicles in favor of low and zero emission ones. This cohort, Ifo explained, would consist of "workers who manufacture product groups that depend directly or indirectly on the combustion engine, with 137,000 of them employed directly by the automotive industry."

A significant transition does indeed appear to be on the horizon. Germany's federal government wants 7 to 10 million electric vehicles to be registered in the country by the end of this decade. In January Reuters, citing Germany's road-traffic regulator, said battery-electric vehicle sales were over 194,000 in 2020, a three-fold rise.

Most Toyotas Will Still Use Gasoline in 2030, Company SaysToyota says most of its U.S. vehicles will still run on gasoline in a decade because it doesn’t think fully electric vehicles will have caught up in cost and convenience If the current administration doesn’t like what it reads here, they can just add in a free EV for every American in their next multi-trillion package they foist on an unsuspecting public. Hybrid is a good temp solution. The same people dumping on Toyota for saying this are the same people who wouldn't know what to do, or how to act, when the power grid goes out and we go back to the stone age. It's like climbing a mountain without looking down at your footing and keeping your eyes on the summit.
