This makes no sense.
Hybrid cars should be allowed to stay around for longer.
This government are bloody farcical.
WTF are they replacing everything with?
Who can afford new fossil free motors? The second-hand ones will be difficult to source.
It was hard enough to buy a bloody diesel which they told people was better for the environment.
In fact, you had more luck getting an automatic car than a diesel.
UK to ban petrol and diesel vehicle sales from 2035

Cars will be targeted because there is more of them.
Regards to mileage, I was never one for doing many miles. Electric vehicles would suit Sunday drivers or those who rarely drive.
It doesn't make sense to scrap them at the same time.
A phasing out process should be necessary with hybrids last to go. Or some might argue they should be kept. If one fails, you have a backup, depending on how the diagnostics and mechanicals work.
They will be phased out by 2035, that is 15 years away, not exactly overnight. Electric cars now have ranges of 279 miles, which is plenty for most journeys. Many people will not be able to recharge at home, like myself living in a flat. However most people currently don't have petrol station at home. There will be more and more charging stations, with petrol stations slowing allowing this facility. 15 years ago we would never have imagined that most people would have a smart phone. We really must change the way we live, eating less meat, having less children and using less fossil fuels or we will not have a world worth living in.
