It is not just control of the car that is intended to be taken from us, it is also the FUEL!
As I posited in the beginning, the greenie zealots
are determined to "Save us" from ourselves at any cost even if it destroys the economy and personal freedom.
New cars people actually WANT, and the automotive aftermarket, are MAJOR components of a healthy economy.
They cannot be wished into the corn field without consequences!
Most of this fantasy legislation is beyond my probable lifetime but the early steps may not be and it will certainly affect the younger members here.
The time to object is NOW, before these feculent schemes are implemented.
LOTS of fallacies here, such as Hydrogen NOT having greater energy content than gasoline, the energy required to obtain the hydrogen, etc.

So I have some personal experience with having to haul around a heavy and oversize fuel tank.
Works kind of OK for trucks except that you lose a LOT of cargo space.
Would NOT be practical in a sports car or even my El Camino.
