ethiopia might be first https://electrek.co/2024/02/02/it-begins-ethiopia-set-to-become-first-country-to-ban-internal-combustion-cars/

@strutheo I can't imagine there being much enforcement, and maybe any ban would be riddled with exceptions so large you could drive a minibus through them, but a small country like Ethiopia is exactly who I think will be the first to throw down with an "Eff it. Let's do this."

That the motivation isn't climate change but instead due to a wild import/export imbalance makes it all the more believable. Their actions won't solve climate change, but maybe it could fix their currency issues.

@strutheo They have banned imports, but I don't think they have banned sales.

@DanHomerick I’ve got no comment on cars, but I’m not sure I’d describe Ethiopia as “small” when it is sitting just outside the world top 10 list for population.
