Countries in the bloc, thinking from the economic aspect, saw that the end of the combustion car in 2035 would cause more problems than advantages
The technological transition has always been a big problem. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, when public lighting in Rio de Janeiro was changed from gas lamps to electric lamps, there was a general uproar.

The question at the time was: will the hundreds of employees who light the gas lamps be unemployed? Nowadays, this type of problem happens now with the electric car, does it succeed or not?
The European community had set 2035 as the deadline to eliminate sales of cars with combustion engines once and for all. But there was another general uproar, as electric cars do not eliminate CO2 emissions.
And with that come new questions about electric cars: are they not suitable for all types of use? Is battery production still problematic? Does electric lose much of its value in the used market? Therefore, countries have gone back and there is no longer a demand for the end of combustion engines in 2035.
