The economical value of a non BEV will drop to zero very fast the coming few years.
When this law is amended the coming weeks or months, I wonder how fast the investments in ICE/PHEV will be cut.

All the political bullshit can shift 5 times again between now and then. BEV is no viable for many, and it's a powerfull chinese lobby on battery production, I see the future electric but not with BEV unless we have sorted out recycling and many other nasty side of this. When everyone plugs their 30Amp charger we will see either the grid blows or how everyone will have slow charging speed.
BEV advocates conveniently avoid the recycling / mining questions and also electricity grid, hell they already think there will be blackouts in winter that's even before any massive electric car deployments.
Also from latest summit they are at last find out that Methane is much worse than Co2 (between 5 times and 80 times depending who you ask) and cars represent only a fragment of Co2 emissions, when people actually tackles what matter most, annoying people with private cars should no longer be a priority... I'd be curious to see what methane emission is coming from stop gaps natural gas / oil / biomass plants when they need to operate very inefficiently (outside their designed efficient ranges) just to makes up for the wind and solar down times all this to charge up all the "green" BEVs they trying to push so hard.
