Up to now, electric cars have always been “traded” as a cheaper alternative to combustion cars in terms of energy use. This is likely to change in the near future. According to autobild.de, a new study by the Center Automotive Research (CAR) predicts a“reversal of the balance of power” as early as 2023. The reason for this is the high and ever-increasing price of electricity.
The question of further alternatives is becoming louder. Here you can eFuels – i.e., synthetic, CO2-neutral fuels – play an important role, since on the one hand they make every diesel and gasoline engine nearly CO-neutral and on the other hand they do not use the expensive, limited green electricity from on-site, but the cheap electricity from sun- and wind-rich regions of the world, which can be generated in almost unlimited quantities. However, this requires a much greater openness to technology and a rethinking of the seemingly ideological adherence to just one type of drive – the keyword here is allelectric.
