To be honest, I don’t think I need to worry about a ban in 2050, if you get my drift.

It's just virtue signalling. So far off in the distance that they don't actually have to do anything, yet can still trumpet that they are doing something about climate change to their overseas counterparts.

In 2050, the rate these socialist idiots greenies are going, we will be back to rowing dug outs, living in caves and spear throwing.

A very common political strategy. Not so far into the future that those who think it is a good idea will not live long enough to see it, but far enough into the future that that we'll have a different government by then so it won't be this lots' fault when it doesn't happen.

Great! Sounds fun. Back to nature and all that. Get people off staring at their phones all day eh? I like your style!

Its hot air from egotistical idiots who have absolutely no idea of the practicalities of doing this. NZ politicians paranoid about our 0.2% contribution to climate change pretending they are world leaders in a world that mostly doesnt know we even exist.

Well said indeed. Virtue signaling is the correct phrase to apply to our politicians in this case I believe.

That's right, the resto of the world should do all the work. We should get a free ride!

It would appear that all major car companies and most Western Governments have announced 2035 the end of IC engines so where would NZ import their cars from after that date?

Why dump all those millions of perfectly good vehicles just so you can run electric. Are they all going to be recycled?
NO.
Hydrogen may be a much better solution.

When they start to change Natural Gas to Hydrogen I'll be able to fill my car at home.

All the left over ICE powered vehicles from overseas? Anyway ‘2035 the end of ICE’? - We’ll see.

we are a cheap plonk society with champagne ambitions. It's going to take a long time before second hand ev's are cheap enough for many Kiwis to afford, and I suspect they might be reliability time-bombs by then. You get the feeling that by that stage, our betters would prefer us to have 'no car'.

Its really easy to get a car running on hydrogen.
