Does the planned ban on combustion engines actually make sense or is it just damaging to the economy?
According to Focus, car experts such as Fritz Indra say quite clearly that it is only damaging to the economy with regard to our car industry, where the “disadvantage compared to Asian manufacturers” is increasing every day as a result of the ban on combustion engines.
Almost no other country in the world – apart from Germany and the EU – wants to put a ban sign with a date on the combustion engine for ideological reasons. This creates unequal competition.
In addition, demand for e-cars in Germany has fallen, partly due to the excessively high purchase and repair costs and the excessive losses on resale. And the electricity mix in Germany currently makes every e-car dirtier rather than cleaner than a combustion car.
Tip: With eFuels (synthetic fuels) and HVO fuels, existing and future combustion cars could be refueled easily and quickly with low CO2 emissions. It just needs to be politically desired!
Perhaps the European elections24 in June will create new conditions!
