That says a lot. What you are effectively saying is "I'd have one if they were so cheap as to be effectively free".

Some predictions say that the % market share of BEV's will be about 16% by 2030, so if true, it seems like the ICE isn't going away anytime soon.
Some predictions also say that BEV's will be a sort of v2.0 vehicle and FCEV's will be v3.0.
Some predictions say we'll all be living in mud huts soon too. So who knows.

Isn't it the most common building material?
That's a very low prediction, do you have a source?

Can't find the original link I was looking at, but I think it was from the SMMT.
Anyway, here is a link from JP Morgan with their predictions, note, these are worldwide numbers.

No, I'm simply saying I'd buy one if I could afford it.

When my current ride goes to the scrap heap, I'm seriously doubtful if I'll buy another car.
But would that not apply to a whole load other cars as well?
it's always been ten years away, and still is.
Looking at the US numbers they expected the growth rate to slow from the rate seen in 2016-2018 until 2023. Which is just weird. The amount of additional capacity coming on line over that time is dramatically greater than 2015-2020.
That report does think that half new cars will be some form of EV or hybrid by 2030, but they are including mild hybrids, which are little different from start-stop systems.

EddieM
Yeah, but by 2035 hybrids are due to be banned too.. looks a challenging target to me, all electric vehicles only make up less than 5% of new vehicles. Still I suppose if there's no choice, you can force it to 100% . I'd imagine that many people like me will be questioning whether they really need a car at all anymore, that's no particular bad thing either.

Bit like driverless cars and AI.
AI was the in thing in the 60's,70's,80's,90's,00's,10's Now that is a bit unfair as AI has dramatically helped with lots of things, but it is patently useless at other things. One of those thing is edge cases, where AI doesn't "get it" unfortunately driving is heavily littered with edge cases.
Ah, but will the government let you avoid having one, asking with all the tax you would avoi , and all the money you would keep out of your local economy?
Look at the current pandemic : despite the health evidence to the contrary, and ignoring that many people can work from home effectively, the government are encouraging us to return to our cars, so that we can be taxed on fuel, spend in cafes and sandwich shops, and the like.

EddieM
Well unless taxed by other means, I dont see how I could be forced to own a car.
As I drive sub 1000 miles a year, it's not really worth it TBH.
