Even the AA are questioning how this is to be achieved when you consider the Huge problems out there non of which appear to be solved as yet .
1,Who is going to pay and build the electric / hydrogen infrastructure needed billions required .
2,How do you turn around a behemoth like the car/ van /truck industry to retool not to mention all the supply companies without mass redundancies and supply chain disruption.
3,How are you going to breakup and recycle millions of now obsolete vehicles.
4,We are being asked to buy vehicles that have not built let alone designed yet the choice is very limited and generally 25% more expensive than existing models.
5,The public are now driving vehicles with an average of 13 years because Government keeps changing policy and who wants to buy a new vehicle that is automatically obsolete.
6,All this power to charge millions of vehicles has not been built yet (new nuclear reactors &more wind farms etc).
World Governments should have used the last crisis ( 08-09) to implement the changes required now it seems they are trying to compress a massive infrastructure and technological change into a few short years without any idea how to achieve it.
