The ban for ICE vehicles was only for new registrations. ICE cars registered before 2035 were still allowed to be driven after 2035.
Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoThat’s quite false, buddy. In fact it’s an outright lie. For Europe and for the US, so I don’t know where you’re talking about this “most of” is at.
The EU bill was for a complete ICE ban by 2035, and the reversal that Germany was pushing for in removing that ban was for it to be a 90% emissions reduction instead of a ban. This was wanted by Germany for the sole purpose of still allowing hybrids after 2035.
In shorter fashion: It didn’t include hybrids. Now it’s going to.

My mistake, it always allowed PHEVs in Canada and I made the assumption it was similar elsewhere as a full blown EV mandate is a really though sell. Thanks for clarifying.
