wow....This is a big move by Germany...
just like the article says, it may not hit all 28 EU nations right away, but the German influence in car industry is big and this will def change things around the world.
2030...far away but not too far away...only about 14 yrs...

Volkswagon would have you believe they can do it......

Doubt it'll stick. In 13 years electric cars still won't have the practicality and affordability of gas vehicles. But it this changes then more countries will probably follow.

That's good to hear. I don't want to live in a world where I can't buy a new car with an ICE.
