[ http://autoweek.com/article/green-cars/will-france-be-able-ban-all-gas-and-diesel-vehicles-2040 ] This country suffers through anymore elections like 1992-2012 and this is almost certainly going to be our fate as there is practically zero difference between the ruling class imperialists in Europe and those here in DC. If there is any upside to this, it will be the poetic justice that will be wrought with a vengeance on these morons for not thinking this publicity stunt through. Several european countries freaked out over the Japanese nuclear plant incident and decided they would ban nuclear power...you know because Germany has so many earthquakes producing tsunamis that threaten their nuclear plants....none of which reside on the ocean's edge....which was a really stupid thing for the japanese to do to begin with. Electric car prices are NOT coming down by 2040, they will simply continue to rise as electricity becomes even more expensive due to ballooning demand, poor and middle class will not be able to afford them, of course ruling class really could not give less of a shit about restricting the mobility of the unwashed masses. So if you are waiting for your Z to go up in value, you have 23 years to get whatever you think it should sell for....because the values of these cars is going to completely crater if this happens here. You think immigration has been out of control for the past 30 years? Wait until europeans, once again desperate to flee europe and the incompetence and malice of their rulers, get back into the mass exodus game.
