How fair is the EU’s existing CO2 measurement methodology for electric cars compared to combustion cars?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to a new legal opinion by Professor Martin Kment (Institute for Environmental Law, University of Augsburg), it is clearly not only unjust, but even illegal!<\/div>\n

“Brussels’ current measurement method only records part of a car’s emissions, the exhaust gases. She ignores everything else, from the environmental damage caused by the mining of lithium for batteries to the generation of electricity for electric cars. Kment advocates a different approach: recording emissions over the entire life cycle of a car, from construction to scrapping. According to Kment, e-fuel burners are no dirtier than battery-powered cars, on the contrary.”<\/div>\n

Combustion engines can already be refueled easily and quickly with modern, alternative fuels such as eFuels and HVO100<\/a> with significantly reduced CO\u2082 emissions.<\/div>\n

Our recommendation: Simply remain open to technology and let the market decide, rather than simply imposing unjust bans from above.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
