Europe is currently fighting over Euro 7, their new regulations for vehicle emissions which could see the continent banning certain cars by 2035. Some countries don't like these new proposals though - with the debate turning into a vehicular civil war

They can do both, people should have the liberty to travel the way they desire whether it's by public transport, car (I'm implying eco friendly powered cars), bike or walk. I'm someone who catches public transport for the majority of my journeys via buses & trains but this is unfair & wrong. It's placing restrictions on people's lives & I suspect that it's to track/ monitor where the public travels even more (in short they don't trust us or they're just being overly nosey which isn't needed). Also let's be honest this wouldn't be applied to the elites (rich / celebrities / governments) they would be able to travel via their own private vehicles; this is very similar with climate protests where some of the elites will talk about being more eco friendly & then they'll jump on their private jet back to the USA.

I can talk about Portugal a little bit. There's no reliable public transportation anywhere except between big cities and in big cities, you see cars that are 20 years old or even more, because new cars are not affordable and sometimes twice as expensive as our neighbours from Spain, because government is illegally taxing cars twice (IVA/VAT and ISV which is tax on vehicles) so cars can go from being affordable to not affordable easlily, while salaries are really low, that a car is seen as a costly necessity over unemployment. Yearly tax of new cars is extremely expensive. A friend of mine bought 2/3 years ago a Dacia Sandero for 14k euros new and he pays annually around 500€ of tax and another 300€ or more of insurance. While I have a 25 years old diesel car that pays 40€ of tax and I can have an insurance of around 100€. Guess what a minimum wage worker (760€ monthly) chooses? Guess what percentage of the population in borderline poverty (if they didn't get subsidies from the State): 40%! Investment in public infrastructure stagnated because of the high debt and years of austerity (that are still ongoing), while corruption in government and public facilities is still rampant and mismanagement of the country too. Brain drain is a contributing factor for this and caused by this. So yeah, Portugal will never abandon fuel cars unless there's public infrastructure and a reliable one. Portugal will never be like Norway that have 90% of electric cars unless they are significantly cheaper to the alternatives. I also see a trend of people buying old cars and restoring them because they have more parts available, are cheaper to maintain, have less tech and don't have anti-pollution measures because they often fail.

I don't know if you're even been to Porto (if not, you definitely should plan a weekend trip some day) but it is almost impossible to ride a bike there unless you have legs made of steel. I do agree that the public transportation system needs to be improved all over Europe, but being such an old continent with very old and tight roads, I don't think it is always possible. What I don't understand is how "new" countries like the USA that have excellent roads, do not have any major public transportation system (except places like New York of course). Europe is what it is.. some countries are over 400 years old and were not planned for our modern society. It's impressive to see that we managed to adapt our cities that well but you can not change the entire infrastructure without rebuilding an entire country/continent from the ground up

In Australia we have chronic infrastructure issues which could not support EV car ownership on a large scale or support the public majority in giving up cars as they are essential for transport. Public transport is poor and our spread of suburbs and towns relies on private transport. We are shutting down power stations with no viable replacement in order to satisfy unrealistic emission targets. Most people have no facility for charging EV's as there are few public chargers installed and a high percentage do not work. Most people rely on Public charge stations as the majority live in UNITS so cannot charge at home. With the increasing cost and unreliability of electricity the use of EV's is becoming increasingly problematic and EV's do not suit the requirements of most motorists here.

Even Germany is lying to itself, when it thinks the problems you mentioned aren't applying to it. Public transportation, while being pretty good in the big cities here, is still a huge problem for the vast majority of people outside these cities. Charing for EVs outside of private homes is non-existant and will remain so for quite some time. And then there's the cost-factor of electric mobility, as it will still be quite a lot more expensive to get one such vehicle in the first place, so the mobility of a lot of low income people will suffer drastically. I for myself, am looking forward to scrapping my private mobility, as my job doesn't allow me a lot of planability with my freetime. I sometimes don't even know when my single day off work each week is, until the end of the week before. I entirely rely on my car to travel in my freetime, as public transportation without planability is prohibitively expensive.

They just have to go full hybrid and install a small ICE electric generator charging the small batterypack. That would reduce emissions in cities (100% electric drive) The weight disadvantage of full electric vehicels who have more wear and tear on road surfaces and tyres would also be reduced. A step further would even be to have a liqued oxygen tank to prevent Nox emissions of the ICE generator. A fine tuned ICE can run on the ideal rpm for max torq/fuel efficiency. Diesel-electric propulsion most used on locomotives and ocean going ships have proven that concept for a almost 100 years now. Its also possible to retrofit older cars.

This is all predicated on a theory that necessity will drive invention. The fact we need more battery materials will drive the invention of new types of batteries using materials more efficiently or using different materials. The need for more electricity, even though it is at certain hours only, will drive increased grid capacity, etc. Right now we don't have ready access to enough lithium for this transition and it takes 15 years for a new lithium mine to start producing ore. Right now, the grid in the US cannot support everyone getting home from work and plugging in their car and there are no plans at present to add capacity to the US grid. The US is struggling to replace the coal-based generating capacity it has with renewables as it is. Most likely outcome here is this passes and then goes through a series of 3-5 year delays until the technology can match the dream or the machines used to make new cars start to wear out. Maybe the EU is in better shape on the grid, but the lack of battery materials is a problem that needs to be solved.

@@SirBalageG from an electrical engineer's aspect this is bull. First of all you can schedule when EVs start charging and also with the advent of smart grids (which as an electrical engineer you must have heard of them), the EVs can even work as a distributed battery and in that way stabilising the grid and thus saving it. Second, production follow demand, so current production figures can not be used to gauge the max capacity of the network. What is needed though is an upgrade on the transmission lines so that more renewables can be added. Renewables are geographically dependent so sometimes they happen to be located far away from demand centers so more high capacity transmission networks are needed. And for sure improvements and investments are needed but nobody said these things aren't coming.

@@InTimeTraveller in reality, Europe is fixated on natural gas and oil, those infrastructures had been prioritized, the electrical grid can wait in the opinion of decision makers. Current distribution infra doesn't allow large scale EV charging, as let's say a car charges with 7kW at home, meanwhile an average 2 person household uses about 7 kWh a day, maybe more in the western countries, but let's say this is a correct number. Even a Dacia Spring, the most basic EV has a 28 kWh accumulator, it can be charged either every day or once a week. If you charge it on the weekend AND you stay at home because well, you don't have a car to use, and you charge the car for 4 hours with a 7 kW charger, you almost use as much electricity as you've used on the weekdays altogether. People won't charge cars during the day, because, people. So you either overplan the infrastructure for 20% peak time where people charge their cars, while in the other 80% of the time, you get overvoltage due to low usage OR you plan for the 80% downtime, like all suppliers, and experience low voltages during peak time, even shutting down whole neighborhoods. Smart grid is a nice concept, I'm writing my thesis in it, it's about both consumption and production scheduling, I found that Smart scheduling with current day technology is not possible, or if it is possible then it's expensive even for the top 1% of users. Hydrogen is the black horse, but I got my bets on it, despite all the bullshit people like to spread about it. It's available whenever you want and refueling doesn't shunt the whole neighborhood. It's all a matter of money, which people don't have in the current economic situation, and it won't really change in the next 4-5 years. Maybe, in the end of the decade we'll see some good, affordable accumulators for household usage, but until then, EVs are cancer for the electric grids, smart grid operations are unaffordable and EVs are overpriced

The crazy thing is that cars (personal cars... for personal leisure) are only necessary as we built society solely around them... In a world where many can work remotely and where the majority of people live in densely urban places (cities that can be designed to have everything you need within walking/bicycle distance). Cars just end up being quite useless. I owned a car since it was expected of me in society as a milestone of "growing up". However, I quickly realized it just turned into a financial liability, especially when living in a bike friendly city, where I have everything I need close by... I wish more city dwellers would come to this conclusion as well, and countries start to design their cities around walkability instead of cars. Sure, car manufacturing has been key to offer jobs and financial profits, however, one thing we don't talk about is the complete societal cost of car ownersship... There was a EU study that deemed that for every EUR you spent on your car, society needed to pay 8.90EUR. This is a stark contrast from public transits 1.9EUR and bikes only costing 0.90EUR This insane financial burden put on society is hidden and massive for a tiny-, but ultimately inefficient luxury. Cars don't need to be banned. but we could ban them from city centres, or city cores. Focusing on making cities walkable with good transit and rental bike systems. Just imagining listening to birds chirping in the city instead of the constant loud white noise of these 2 ton killing machines.

Also, how would we power all the electric cars? The network is simply not built for that yet. And all the same rules for all vehicles? Like...

Wouldn't that mean that instead of sending one large lorry, the logistics company will just send two smaller ones since together they can produce twice as many emissions?

None of that is happening, it is actually really cold and wet in Europe right now (with world;s emissions rising). Note the fact that EU's share of emissions is only 5-6% globally which is tiny like a "drop in the ocean" and EU's share is constantly declining because (others are not cutting emissions) nobody else in the world believes in this neo-communist ideology. Either way EU's emissions are utterly insignificant. Go to Asia and Africa and tell them to cut emissions !!!!

You'd think that the main car manufacturers would welcome any changes that mean that cars get out of date faster than naturally. Once euro 7 is implemented, city centers (and other emission control zones) can start banning any cars that have only euro 6 and below. That would lead to more people needing (or wanting) new cars earlier than if they just had to replace wear and tear. Also, with how China (as a country, not necessarily as a car manufacturer) is kind of known for the opposite of clean power production, you'd think that stricter emission standards in the EU would make it _harder_ for overseas car manufacturers to export to Europe. It's always easier to leave out a new particulate filter or other newly developed component from your export products than to retrofit it into them.

Not everyone wants to buy an EV. EV is perfect if you are rich and own your home in the city. If you're poor and live in an apartment, you either struggle to find a good place to plug overnight or have to use fast charging stations which are very expensive, costs almost as much as gas. If you live in a rural area, you likely need to tow stuff around and EV is terrible at doing that, can barely last 1 hour towing some wood before needing a recharge, and recharge stations are sparse in rural areas. So these people are likely to repair their combustion cars/trucks as long as possible and not buy an EV for a long time.

It's so stupid, Germany should switch to e-mobility especially BECAUSE we have such a big car industry, none electric cars will be a novelty in the near future and no one will buy German cars anymore, I wonder how many jobs THAT will cost.

Meanwhile BYD sold 10,000 of it's budget Seagull micro hatch in a day. Honestly if the EU doesn't get on with electrifying it's transport sector China will do it for them.

This is it, the electric car industry is moving ahead, regardless of the old guard trying to hold things back. If these companies are not careful with dragging their feet, they could put themselves at a major disadvantaged compared to rivals that do push hard on electric cars. What the EU is doing is trying to light the fire under them so they move quickly to electric cars, otherwise, rivals from the US and China will eat up the market. My next car is going to be electric and because of that, the ones that don't push in that sector won't get a look in from consumers like me. In any case, if these companies and governments are worried about job losses now, imagine how bad it will be if most consumers end up only wanting to buy electric cars and these companies are not ready for it, most consumers could look at rivals from the US and China for their next car, I certainly would if these European car companies don't get their act together and this is going to be more the case as more consumers put more solar up, many will want to power their house and electric cars by that, if they produce enough energy. All that is going to make petrol and diesel cars very unappealing, especially on running cost. But seriously, how many of us are really going to want to buy a petrol or diesel car by 2035? By then, electric cars should be quite good and decent price.

@charlotteinnocent8752 Жыл бұрын
I agree, but the public transport need to come before the petrol car ban. Poorer people can't afford to buy electric, and if the buses aren't there YET... The public transportation needs to precede the new rules.

I am all for the green transition as a Central European, however we must make sure that the economic sacrifices we are making are shared between all member states in a just manner. I do not generally understand why everyone supports e.g. Dutch farmers when they protest against emissions standars saying their livelihoods are on the hooks, but tell Germany and the V4s that it is "tough luck, sorry" when it comes to car manufacturing and the livelihoods of people working in that industry.
@Gorgina010 Жыл бұрын
I'm a German and I support Dutch farmers, but not the car industry. Reason: We need food, but we could live comfortably without cars, if public transportation were made available & affordable everywhere in the country and if the government would allow Indian-style bike rickshaws in the cities (we need vehicles able to transport relatively heavy loads like e.g. weekly shopping for a family; in times past before there were cars, people used horses for that). And I hate the Green party, because they want to oppress people even much *more* than Hitler and Stalin did: they want to ration food & prohibit some foods, ration heating & electricity and prohibit heating with wood, prohibit physical money to control people, abolish free speech, abolish borders to destroy all cultures, propagate promiscuity to destroy families and cause traumatizing & neglect of children, so they will be more susceptible to indoctrination & propaganda, and a world government, so there will be nowhere to escape their tyranny. Green politicians are enemies of mankind.

Would that 2035 ban include basic hybrid cars that are ICE (like most Toyotas) I wonder? E fuel (the explicit exemption) I thought is the synthetic fuel developed by Porsche but I may be wrong. Seems like an exciting but expensive project (synthetic fuel). Thanks for this post, appreciated.

Flying a plane to Hungary from Finland is cheaper than taking a train from Helsinki to Lappeenranta. The whole "public transport" isn't for the public. It's for business trips and work commuters.

Electric cars are only green if we change how much is poluted during the extraction or materials and construction ov vehicles. Aswell as needing all the power to be green aswell. And for everyone to have electric cars wed need to have 3x more charging stations than we have gas stations as it takes 3x as long to charge a car that fill it with gas.
