South Africa may look to ban new petrol and diesel cars by 2035 – here’s why

A report suggests South Africa should ban the sale of new internal combustion (ICE) vehicles by 2035.

Lol, 3rd world country thinking we have time for 1st world decisions. Tsek.

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

No, no and no.

Lol...can you imagine RSA in 2035...
And they are on about cars...Where are you going to drive them by then?

Maybe by 3035.

Report also says South Africa needs to shift 20-30% of its road traffic to rail by 2035 along with this...

Well I guess South Africa is going to miss those climate commitments then because that isn't going to happen.

With loadshedding stage 34 I doubt it.

As long as our genius electricity minster can fix the electrickery, sure.

 

[CB40]

At least I'll be pushing up daisies by then

They should also ban the anc as a political party before then

"May"

Jesus, you can start any old bullshit story by adding one of the magic words "may", "allegedly" or "according to sources".

Well I reckon by 2035 most 'new' cars will be hybrid. Which will only be banned for sale by 2040. Also the existing 2nd hand ICE cars will still be on roads for a very long time.

Yeah so 2060 at the earliest with the way the ANC deals with a deadline.
