Their problem is that once more they can't think beyond the capitol. There already are all kinds of silly taxes and such to try to get people to drive less etc.

But outside of the biggest cities public transport only runs during office hours. End result is that owning and using a car i vital to continued survival.

So expect this to turn petrol cars into something of a Giffen good, if not an outright Veblen good.

You can still own a car just not a polluting one. Personally I have a petrol car that I use to drive to and from an island called Hidra (south in Norway, about 400 km from here), but there is absolutely no need for a petrol car to do this. The only reason I didn't buy a tesla is because the build quality of that car felt really bad when I did a test drive, however in 2025 I suspect there to be long distance electric cars made by proper car companies like mercedes or audi.

And even on that island with only ferry connection and 600 residents there is an hourly bus going the whole day to the local mainland town.

How far into the woods do you live? ;)

Not far geographically, but the buss stop going at 17.

Chances are, by 2025, you can buy a hydrogen car if EV doesn't get you far enough. That being said. EV should get you pretty far in 2025.
