Last month, the prime minister of Denmark announced that the country will be banning the sale of new gasoline and diesel-fueled cars in 2030 as a means of reducing their carbon footprint.
Denmark hopes to have more than 1 million hybrid and electric vehicles on the roads before the ban goes into effect.
Legislators say that they will be incentivizing the transition by making EVs more affordable and opening up their bus lanes to cleaner vehicles.Though the Nordic country does not produce any of their own cars, they reportedly plan on collaborating with other EU nations to pressure automakers into manufacturing more electric vehicles, as reported by Bloomberg.
“I’m convinced that many Danes want to drive a green car if it’s affordable,” said Tax Minister Karsten Lauritzen, according to Bloomberg Environment. “So we want to support that development.”
