UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced a significant delay in the ban on
new gas and diesel cars, pushing it back by five years. Originally planned
for 2030, the ban will now come into effect in 2035. Sunak cited concerns
about the economic impact of such a swift transition to electric vehicles
as the reason for the postponement. This decision has sparked debates on
environmental goals versus economic stability, with environmentalists
expressing disappointment over the extended timeline.
