 * As has been pointed out there, they are not "government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles". They are government incentives for high-MPG vehicles.  (I thought it was also for low-emission vehicles, but not of those mentions it.)  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 23:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

For Discussion: Where to inform about ICE vehicle Government Sales Bans in Wikipedia?
Several countries have recently announced sales bans for internal combustion engines (= petrol and diesel cars, except plug-in hybrids). Some examples:
 * Norway announced an effective ban in 2016 to be enacted by 2025, not by outlawing conventional cars, but by strong financial incentives.
 * Netherlands, potential ban of new petrol and diesel car sales by 2025 http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/netherlands-petrol-car-ban-law-bill-to-be-passed-reduce-climate-change-emissions-a7197136.html
 * France (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/06/france-ban-petrol-diesel-cars-2040-emmanuel-macron-volvo) and UK announced in 2017 a ban for 2040.
 * Germany 2016: A resolution by Bundesrat (not an announcement of a law). http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/bundeslaender-wollen-benzin-und-dieselautos-ab-2030-verbieten-a-1115671.html

Clearly the Norwegian "ban" is intended to be through incentives, whereas other bans may go beyond that. Do we put this information into this article, another, a new article, or where? --Vigilius (talk) 14:58, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Potential bans on gas engines is a new article topic, something like Government bans on internal combustion engines.--Frmorrison (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Potential improvements
Hi Wikipedians, I am working on this page as a part of a class assignment and was looking at possible improvements. I think that there is a lot of detail that can be added to many of the countries sections, in particular China. China has modified their electric vehicle incentives constantly through the last few years, much of which is missing from the existing page. Additionally, countries like Japan have data only as recently as 2009. Other countries, like Bulgaria, Switzerland, and Estonia, are missing citations entirely or on major portions of text. Aside from these, many countries are also missing entirely from the list. Also, I think that there may be additional room for improvement in the overall summaries of policies in different regions. One problem I am experiencing is finding the direct sources for vehicle incentives. Usually they come in the form of secondary articles that are reporting the changes made. Another challenge is that they are often in foreign languages. If others have advice or good places to start with sources I will be happy to incorporate them into any changes.
