China is gearing up to ban petrol and diesel cars, a move that would boost electric vehicles and shake up the world's biggest car market in a country that is plagued by pollution.

The plan would follow decisions by France and Britain to outlaw the sale of such cars and vans from 2040 to clamp down on harmful emissions.

The government did not give a date for the ban, but the announcement drove up the shares of automakers and lithium battery makers in Asia, with Chinese electric car leader BYD closing 4.07 percent up in Shenzhen and Toyota up 1.22 percent in Tokyo.

Xin Guobin, vice minister of industry and information technology, told a weekend forum in the northern city of Tianjin that his ministry has started "relevant research" and is working on a timetable for China.

"These measures will promote profound changes in the environment and give momentum to China's auto industry development," Xin said in remarks broadcast by CCTV state television.

"Enterprises should strive to improve the level of energy-saving for traditional cars, and vigorously develop new-energy vehicles according to assessment requirements," he said

By that time kabiru will already be 70 yrs old so doesn't matter. It's the new generation mechanics that need to up their game.

People are screaming electric cars now like kilode. Ok just imagine the hurricane that is happening in Florida right now, some places will be without power for months, how will these cars be powered?

Smart power grid transmission would be possible by then in such a way that power can be transmitted and received across different continent using unconventional medium .There is serious unprecedented ground breaking technology disruption happening everywhere if you must know ,nothing is going to be the same again !!!

probably infinix, techno, Itel, Gionee, Xiaomimi and the rest of the chinco warriors would start churning out Power bank for these cars
