I may be wrong, but 2035 is very near and the phaseout seems (to me) like very difficult to achieve.
The only zero emissions are EV's and - besides Norway - they represent today only a very small percentage of vehicles, there are of course no problems (besides possibly the scarcity of some materials) in increasing the production of EV's, but the issue (as I see it) will come when plenty of vehicles on the road will be all electric, the need to adapt the current electric grid and adding the needed recharge points (be them private or public) seems like not having been taken into consideration or plans for it are way too optimistic.
Poland calling it unrealistic seems appropriate.
There are, besides the risk of having too expensive new cars, a lot of other possible downsides, influencing the market of used cars, and creating a "recharging divide" among different countries but also among different cities/locations in a same country.
It's not difficult to achieve. It's Europe's only solution now. This is not about CO2-emission, it's about politics. Europe used to control a good part of the world fuel and also had a pipeline to Russia. They no longer have a pipeline and also lost lots of their control on their colonial countries.
They have no choice but to find alternative energy sources. Look at what's happening politics-wise in the middle-east.
It’s going to be hard to do, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done. Ambitious goals like these that actually direct society towards improvements are exactly what we need to tackle climate change, not more foot dragging and excuses.
