You mean we are relevant in any form as it is already?
There's been significant talk of banning ICE cars in all forms of government, Canadian PM has said he is banning ICE sale as of 2035, but that's at least 3 election cycles away. Power shifts, government priorities change, global power dynamics is fluid.
I can imagine there maybe movement to add taxes to ICE car sales at some point to shift some consumer behavior, but outright banning ICE sales in the foreseeable future will likely be limited to the very few countries that do have the infrastructures, the political leaning, the population mentality and the drive to actually make it happen (ie. Holland)
For those of us here, the day of banning ICE vehicle sales will likely be when we are all sitting in a senior home waxing lyrically about the sound of a Ferrari V8, or the chug of a LS, or the scream of a Rotary to our grandchildren
