ICE cars may continue in EU after 2035 with e-fuels exemption | Autocar

E-fuels are made from CO2 captured from the atmosphere and hydrogen so are claimed to be carbon-neutral by their backers.

The support of German diplomats secured by the promised integration of e-fuels means the final vote on the legislation is now expected to pass.

Fantastic idea and finally some common sense amongst all this EV nonsense! I think fewer people will choose internal combustion as battery technology improves.
