Eco-friendly cars are increasingly becoming more and more concentrated on fully electric cars. This has also received support from various parties, including from the banking sector.

Quoted from Fox Bussines, the bank which has 185,000 customers, said it would no longer lend money to people to buy combustion engine cars, trucks and SUVs. They say they don’t want to lock their customers into higher carbon emissions and higher operating costs.
