https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/02/22/eu-proposed-ban-on-repairing-cars-older-than-15-years/ I do not own a vehicle that is less than 20 years old.
I didn’t know about this. May it never see the light of day. I have a perfectly good, reliable almost-20-yr.-old-vehicle. It always starts, is reasonably powerful, fairly easy on gas, & fairly comfortable, well equipped. Drawbacks are little resale value & unavailibity of OE parts at times. Compare that to the list of drawbacks to an EV.
