Ban on internal combustion engines from 2035: a revolution in the streets or the beginning of the end?

It will soon be two years since the European Union (EU) decided in October 2022 to ban the sale of new internal combustion vehicles from 2035. The aim of this so-called internal combustion engine ban is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. While the environmental benefits of such a ban are clear, it is equally important to consider the economic implications and related theoretical considerations.
