There is a growing list of cities and countries planning to ban petrol, diesel and LPG vehicles in the near future. These regions (and others) are also increasing renewable electricity production making ready for electric vehicles (EVs). This means that the uptake of EVs will happen fairly quickly as car manufacturers adapt.
Amsterdam plans to ban all petrol and diesel vehicles from entering the city from 2030. Many other cities plan to do similar and also plan to have electric buses running sooner. These cities and territories (with dates) include: Amsterdam (2030), Athens (2025), Auckland (2030), Barcelona (2030), British Columbia (2025), Brussels (2030), Cape Town (2030), Copenhagen (2030), Hainan - China (2030), Heidelberg (2030), London (2030), Los Angeles (2030), Madrid (2025), Mexico City (2025), Milan (2030), Oxford (2020), Paris (2025), Quito - Ecuador (2030), Rome (2024), Seattle (2030), Vancouver (2030).
The countries that plan to have all new vehicle sales to be emission-free (which does not include hybrids) by a certain date are: China (date to be confirmed), Costa Rica (2021), Denmark (2030), France (2040), India (2030), Ireland (2030), Israel (2030), Netherlands (2030), Norway (2025), United Kingdom (2040 with Scotland 2030). There are other countries, such as Sweden, that subsidize EVs and tax fossil fuel vehicles.
There are also many cities with Low Emission Zones for their central business districts which fine high emission vehicle owners for entering the zones. They are to be found in these countries/region: Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, Denmark, Italy and Hong Kong.
