I agree that the EU and the world needs to move aggressively on clean energy (including nuclear), climate change etc.

But I really hate this tendency to overly micro-manage the economy.

Yes, gasoline cars pollute, but then the solution is to price a mitigation of that pollution into gasoline, even if than means it'll cost 20€/liter.

It's not to ban one particular category of devices that happens to use gasoline by some arbitrary date.

It's especially stupid because out of all the users of gasoline, cars are some of the "cleanest" due to emissions regulations.
