It would make sense for the government to encourage the refurb industry including those that remove old petrol and diesel engines for electric and hydrogen engines. It would be a greener and far less costly option than scrapping perfectly good vehicles to replace them with high carbon footprint battery driven cars, also it's clear that the problems with the pollution and supply of Lithium will make batteries a dead end technology for cars. Refurbishment will create the space whilst hydrogen combustion engines and a hydrogen economy are developed.
