Automakers, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW, have urged the EU to weaken the policy, amid slower-than-expected electric car sales. Sweden’s Volvo Cars and others say they have already heavily invested in the transition to electric, and any reversal on the ban would be a betrayal.
France has said earlier that it wants to keep the phase out, but so far nothing about the new push. However more votes would be needed. Somewhat likely would be the Netherlands and Belgium imho. Germany, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Portugal are known to be against the ban.
France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden have ~ 35% of the EU populace… So maybe one more small country would be needed for a blocking minority. (If I am not mistaken)
