Electric cars against global warming?
According to heise.de, BMW boss Zipse questioned the regulations from Brussels at the Paris Motor Show in view of the demand for e-cars.
He was particularly clear about the planned ban on combustion engines from 2035:
“In order for Europe to become competitive again, politicians must set a framework for progress and prosperity instead of blocking successful technologies, Zipse said at the Paris Motor Show.”
According to Zipse, synthetic fuels (eFuels) should also be used as a matter of urgency and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions:
“The EU must put unrealistic targets to the test more quickly, the BMW boss demanded. No EU country is even close to an all-electric car market. There are 250 million vehicles on the road in the EU today that could immediately reduce CO₂ emissions with synthetic fuel. China and the USA will still be markets for cars that do not run on batteries after 2035.”
A newly elected government could certainly be more helpful than before in enforcing this demand at EU level!
