Not banning the cars themself

Except for banning them in specific areas and raising taxes and insurance on them, sure, it's not banning the sale of new (and used?) ICEs... just screwing over whomever wants/needs to keep them and would rather avoid contributing to a landfill.

Not to mention most new cars, regardless of drivetrain, are spyware computers on wheels with built-in obsolescence.

Are you for us using fossile fule instead?

Also if you are scared of spyware...why are you on the internet my guy?
