Yeah that may be. Another reason could be that they just don’t care what technology will be used in 2035, they just NOW want to get people’s votes and thus try to please them with these decisions and take away the common (but irrational) fear that people cannot drive their beloved combustion cars in the future. Doesn’t matter if electric cars will be cheaper and better by then through market mechanisms alone despite any regulatory requirements. But right now, conservative voters don’t want a ban on IC cars, so this is what conservative parties decide
the idea is to keep fossil drivetrains in the market under the pretense of fueling them with E-Fuels from 2035 on and then using “the normative power of the factual” (cause E-Fuels won’t be available in the necessary amounts) to just continue importing oil until whenever.
Congratulation… Unlike the majority you understand their goals.
They did the exact same thing with electricity production: Talking about renewables then sabotaging grid improvements and extensions while artificially making energy storage unviable via massive double taxation. Then they started slowing down renewables while arguing that the grid can’t handle more and it also makes no sense when we really, really need to burn coal to keep the lights on.
