I refer to the European intent now, which is pure politics of course: https://www.euractiv.com/section/ele...ngine-by-2035/
Today the intent is 0g COČ against 2035 which eliminates any ICE, how clever it might be, from being sold any where in the EU.

I understand that there are car manufacturers, amongst them BMW, who revolt against these plans and already replied to the EU parliament that they will NOT comply!

EU replied that they have a battery of incentives (read: penalties and fines) ready to motivate manufacturers to comply. Anyway, zero emission is not a gray border, it's a pretty black/white one. Everything above 0gr will no longer can get registrated.
