ICE ban will come VERY fast. In the Belgian news today, no joke:

1. All political parties are in favour of an ASAP ban on ICE cars. The scenario now is to prohibit new ICE as from 2027. For company cars, 2026. This includes the ban for PHEV. The norm has to be 0 emission!

2. 2nd hand cars can no longer be sold or change owner as from 2029 when they are not zero emission! So they become economical scrap within 8 years (including your new M5 CS or still to be delivered Ferrari 296gtb).

3. As from 2023, new houses are no longer to be equipped with gas heating or oil heating. Everything has to be heat pump electrical.

4. When you buy an old house, you commit to refurbish it to "very low consumption" standards. which is "almost not relying on external energy feed".

So I don't believe the fairy tale of ICE has still a bright and long future. It won't, it has just become obsolete.
