I read the headline No ICE, sorry but I thought mo more In Car Entertainment, and prior to jumping on me, I was thinking Radios, CDs. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

'Experts' have been predicting flying cars in the 'city of the future' since the 1950s. All vehicles being electric in 8 years is about the same likelihood.

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

No ICEs sold in 8 years? Nah. In 20 years? I can see that in Europe, the US (maybe) and perhaps China. In sub-Saharan Africa? They'll be running ICEs for sometime yet I should think. Whilst they have lots of solar energy resource, tapping it and distributing it where it can be used in centres of population might hold back development. Who knows, though, maybe they'll go hard on solar and get big on EVs before the rest of us. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
