> That would be an extremely unusual commute to be doing by car in Europe, people do it but it's very rare. If you're going to be covering over 1000km a week(!!!!) Then get a good diesel, not a brand new EX90.

Aren't they in the middle of outlawing them?

There's no talk of outlawing any vehicles people already own. You won't be able to buy a brand new one in a decade, but there's no indication you won't be able to use one you already own.
Company cars in Belgium starting from this year have to be phev or ev. No more diesel or gasoline.
As in, new cars that companies buy from this year, right? If your company already owns a diesel vehicle it can be still used, correct?
Yes, from this year and applies to new vehicles allocated to employees. Companies generally lease or long term rent in Belgium. What I hear, people are now replacing their car parks.
More than a decade from now, and that’s assuming the EV market continues to advance the technology as much as is predicted.
