All newly registered vehicles in Germany must be fully electric by 2030

Part of me knew this was coming and another part of me doesn't want to believe it. This is also why I have already said before that the next generation of M cars will be the last to have internal combustion engines. I just wonder what companies like Porsche are gonna do with models like the GT3. I do have hope that Lamborghini will still be building new V10's in the year 2030 though.

It's a target not a mandate

Highly unlikely

"Fully" electric? That cant be right. Nor is it do-able.

I think its doable. I do think the Germans will still make petrol powered cars for export. I personally think this is great - it will set a high pace of innovation.

I look at the current set of new BMWs coming out and I see very little innovation. The G10 has more-or-less the same power plant as the F01. They've reached a plateau. This will accelerate the next plateau.

"Update: It looks like the official in question, State Secretary of Economy and Energy, Rainer Baake, was misquoted and that he says that a mandate by 2030 will be necessary to achieve the emission goal without specifying if or when the zero emission mandate will be implemented ? we will update if Baake release a statement."

Looks like a misquote.
