Default Petrol and diesel fuel

I wonder what will happen to all our Scooby when we eventually stop getting petrol and diesel at the pumps and it's all electric.I was kinda fishing for information at work as regards to the change. Surely something would have to be in place because I carnt see everyone owning a electric car.If this is so there is gonna be a lot of classics parked up doing nothing

Cars can be converted to electric is was on wheeler dealers a while ago , you end up with a big battery pack in the boot , i don’t think petrol and diesel is running out for some time , hydrogen cars are the future the by product is water vapour

i cant see it happening to be honest. electric cars are out of alot of peoples budgets. they dont get the range and im pretty sure the grid wouldnt be able to cope.

i hope it doesnt happen,i couldnt imagine driving a car that made no noise, it would be rather boring

I haven't seen an electric car at Ford yet so I don't no what's happening there .I no cars are definitely getting tougher on emissions though .They have dropped the limit on diesel tests for mots making it harder to pass older cars like Euro 4-5 but to be honest they still pass.I will keep my eyes peeled for the electric car ,you never no it might get shelved
