this is just the tories kicking the problem 20 years down the road safe in the knowledge that
a) we'll all be dead by then
b) the people proposing this will all be dead by then in which case there'll be no one to hold to account when it fucks out
c) we'll have reverted back to a feudal society where the underclass are forced to bear their betters about on palanquins made from snowy owls and the bones of God Emperor Rees Mogg's vanquished foes
in the meantime, they can conveniently put any efforts that might realistically address meeting any emissions targets on the back burner.
also, this is a thoroughly regressive policy that'll kick the 99% in the teeth far more than those that can easily afford expensive electric vehicles.
