Gday...
yeah, I reckon I will be used as compost for vegie gardens by then too
However, as the article sez -
"Both announcements appear to be more political grandstanding and headline-grabbing than of any great substance, though. No new laws have been passed and neither government may be in power after the next round of elections, let alone 20-odd years down the track."

A " cordless " hearse will probably be used for the "last trip" - should be quiet though.

It is worthwhile reading the article ... however, here's another snippet from the article -
"It said peak electricity demands on an already stretched system could rise by 50 per cent when electric vehicles are in recharge mode in the evening or overnight.
The extra electricity needed to run an electric-vehicle fleet would also be nearly 10 times the output of a new nuclear power station being built in Somerset in southwest England."

2040, who cares what happens? Most of us will be dead & buried or dribbling idiots in a nursing home by that time.

Banning the sale of all petrol and diesel cars by 2040.
I have read a report, (unconfirmed of course), that they may be going to resurrect an old type of vehicle, which does not rely on petrol or diesel
It is similar to the one a gentleman called Mister Noddy, use to drive It will have a larger spring, and key
Below is a pic of the original, and the new prototype

You are very lucky, David You was born before us troublesome, baby boomers came on the scene
We caused trouble when we were born, as there were too many of us, for the maternity ward, and I had to be born at home.
We caused trouble when we went to school, as there were too many of us, and our year were crowded into the classrooms like sardines, and being small and at the back, I never learned anything
We caused trouble when we were old enough to go on the employment rides, as there were too many of us, and I had to wait in line for six months, to enter the "working in the pits", ride.
We caused trouble when we were old enough to retire, and get onto the Old Age Pension ride, as there were too many of us, and there was no money left for us, so some like me, were turned away.
We will cause trouble when we are old enough to leave, as there are just too many of us, and the cemeteries are already nearly full
Us baby boomers will have no option, except to live a lot longer, if we do not want to cause any more trouble
