Title: No new ICE in the UK after 2035
Post by: Richard230 on February 05, 2020, 08:16:31 PM
A news item on the BBC World News TV show last night reported that in 2035 the UK would be banning the sale of new ICE vehicles.  After that it will be H2, electric, or pedal power. Hopefully, there will be enough working electrical charging stations to accommodate EV vehicles of all types around the UK.  But will the UK motorcycle industry be ready?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ryb8qoIdWM

The important aspect is to dissolve Lucus before this happens or they're all doomed.  :)

Excellent advice.   ;D  Can you imagine what Lucas charging stations might be like?   ::)

I just saw that.  And my comment is "for now".  But how about the EU?  I thought they were planning a similar ban and I don't recall motorcycles being mentioned one way or the other.  ???

Of course they'll be banned eventually, but they're not in the 2035 deadline. I imagine the deadline for bikes will be announced before then.

As for the EU, none of that applies to us anymore.
