Combustion Going Bust: Global Phase-outs of Gasoline Cars

By Katharina Buchholz – Statista

As of 2024, 60 countries and territories around the world had set targets, signed pledges or announced plans to phase out gasoline and diesel cars by a concrete date – a move that climate scientists call absolutely necessary and that is seen as vital for countries to achieve net zero carbon emissions. The earliest phase-out of this kind is set to happen soon in Norway, which has been an electric mobility pioneer. Relevant announcements for the middle of the century followed more recently from the likes of Vietnam and Indonesia, according to Coltura.
