Lol. You obviously have not been to Africa ๐. Because you'd know that most of the continent doesn't have electricity and even when they do it's not regular.
They definitely will not be able to use electric cars as there is not enough for that, plus they have no network of chargers. I'm many cases the roads are mud.
So SOMEBODY will have to keep building ICE cars for Africa and other 3rd world countries in the far East.
Most European islands don't have the means to build a grid and most of them generate electricity by burning OIL. Like in Cyprus. That makes electricity very expensive. Petrol is cheaper. Plus the economies are small. The average person cannot afford an electric car, not even a new car of any sort, they import used cars from the UK. No chance in hell they will be on electric for at least another 30 years!
Hence why I said meaningful numbers and western roads both.
The East has the capability for electrical infrastructure, there are plenty of rivers for hydro, plenty of sun for solar, theyโre capable of building nuclear plants, etc.
Africa can do the same as the above, maybe a bit more wind and solar than hydro. Theyโll just need assistance to do so.
Those island nations and economies are inconsequential. They have so few vehicles that in the greater picture they donโt matter. A few hundred thousand cars are nothing compared to the hundreds of millions currently used by the americas and Europe. Itโs perfectly fine for them to keep using ice from whoever wants to make cheap small ice vehicles for them, willing to bet theyโre still going to be hybrid though since thereโs no reason not to be. In the grand scale of the planets fossil fuel usage states like Malta or Cyprus will never use enough to really matter
