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.

I am not sure about Europe but at least in US, governments are known for unrealistic targets and when the target date approaches they would roll numbers back. I can understand 2027 target for new vehicles but 2029 for used vehicles is really aggressive. To adapt this change, basic infrastructure (charging) has to be updated and i am not sure if the whole of Europe is ready for that.

I was not expecting ICE to be an option to any next gen M vehicles. Hope we see these kinda statements from other manufacturers as well.
