Netherlands proposes banning gas, diesel car sales by 2025

To be fair they have had hundreds of years more to plan and built their cities without such methods, cars, being available unlike a large part of the states short of the east coast and are limited in space for a lot of the area's unlike in the US.

Still for all the talk about public transit, European transportation is still dominated by passenger vehicles.

2025 seems too quick, but the point in time it is possible is not much further than that. Plugin Electric vehicles will become more common each year and soon all Auto Manufacturers will be offering them.

not if he lives in a apartment or condo.

Not always the case. Even the garage in the older building I'm in now has 110 outlets aplenty, while not optimal they could be utilized. I also had a 7.7kw charger installed in my condo parking space without any issues from the board.

The three rental buildings I lived in out in CA all had at least one level 2 EVSE charging station (the last one had enough for 1/3rd of the garage).

Would be interesting if they ever get wireless charging to the point where car batteries could be trickle charged. Then I could see it happening.

Colossal waste of energy.

It exists today, but it is inefficient.
