Even if voted favorably, the sales ban on new cars powered by combustion engines won't come into effect in the European Union until 2035. However, many companies have already announced plans to go completely electric well before the middle of the next decade. Jaguar will bid adieu to the ICE as early as 2025, with Renault, Volvo, Ford of Europe, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce to follow suit by 2030.
In seven years' time, most (if not all) Stellantis brands will abandon gasoline and diesel engines. Audi will launch only electric cars from 2026 and intends to end production of ICE models by 2033. Archrivals BMW and Mercedes are committed to going EV-only even before 2030 should that become mandatory in certain markets part of the EU.
