"It’s been an eventful few weeks for the global car industry with some notable
episodes that look set to shape what we’ll be driving in the years to come.
Firstly, the European Union announced that it would proceed with its plans to
effectively ban every non-electric vehicle by 2035 (although it subsequently
left the door ajar for carbon-neutral synthetic fuel to be an option). Next,
the US government declared it wants up to 67 per cent of all new cars to be EVs
by 2032. Then, closer to home, the Federal Government finally announced it
would introduce fuel efficiency standards as part of its National Electric
Vehicle Strategy. And, finally, the last piece of news that grabbed my
attention was General Motors’ announcement that it will stop building its
smallest, most affordable EV, the Chevrolet Bolt, and replace it with an
electric pick-up truck.
All this got my mind ticking over and led me to ask the same question over and
over again - shouldn't we just ban SUVs?"
