With a massive drop-off in sales, what will that do to the car industry? Also, what will it do to the petrol and diesel industry?Yes that’s the plan - used petrol cars will still be around for some time though surely..
The producers of ICE cars may call it a day and concentrate on making electric cars. Over time, the knowledge of producing and designing ICE cars may disappear. OK, the patents will be there, but the skills and knowledge of the people will go.
To keep petrochemical companies going, the cost of fuel may have to rise. And there will be less spent on investment in oil rigs and distribution.
