An interesting film: many leaders of car companies understand very well that at this stage the desire for total electrification of transport is the essence of shooting both their company and all drivers in the foot. And yet fascinated car brands continue to enter Kaa’s jaws like banderlogs. The AvtoVzglyad portal appreciated the arguments that guided them.

It is hardly possible to explain the indomitable desire to inflict maximum damage on oneself only by general insanity. Probably, sometimes some reasons are hidden from prying eyes. However, they are unlikely to relate to the auto industry as an industry – following the “green” program carries specific benefits for specific officials.

An analyst from one of the largest automakers tried to take an impartial view of the problem and turned his attention to Europe. He collected arguments for and against electric cars, and the AvtoVzglyad portal tried to understand the motives that push consumers to buy “environmentally friendly” vehicles instead of “dirty” traditional ones. The quotes here are not accidental, as the swear words quoted are not true at all, but represent part of the brainwashing campaign.

Strange statistics

In general, yes. According to Ernst & Youngmore than half of global car buyers surveyed want their next purchase to be an electric or hybrid model. It is worth reminding that E&Y is generally an auditing and consulting firm, sociological research is not its forte. In any case, the doubtfulness of this conclusion is emphasized by the fact that the market for electric vehicles in Europe – the bastion of the “green” ideology – has grown by only two percentage points in the last two years – from 10% to 12%. And this despite the huge sums that local governments invest in stimulating demand.

Who is to thank for these two percentage points? Firstly, fanatical nature conservation, poorly versed in the physics and chemistry of the production process and the operation of the machine. Second, the poor fellows, frightened by marketers, who aren’t jokingly worried that paying for environmental pollution will soon hit their pockets harder than buying an expensive electric car. Third, people who just like this or that non-traditional brand. And fourth, the majors looking for an excuse to show off their wealth.

Both buyers and producers suffer

All of these motives are either blatantly frivolous and embedded in the brain through amplified eco-propaganda, or too personal, limited to narrow social groups. It turns out that the real considerations that prompted a person to change a car from an internal combustion engine to an electric car are not yet visible. On the contrary, the entire economy revolts against such a choice.

According to JATO, the average sales price of electric cars in Europe from 2015 to 2022, despite the efforts of scientists, engineers and politicians, did not decrease, but increased from 48,942 to 55,821 euros. Benefits provided by the states make up less than a third of the price difference from gasoline cars. Even the lower cost of owning electric trains doesn’t make up for the actual overpayment: it will take at least 10 years to fully cover it and try to turn a profit.

This is about buyers. But it is not easy for manufacturers either. Working conditions in the European automotive market are not determined by economic opportunity, not by the “invisible hand of the market”, but solely by the voluntary political directives of the European Commission. From 2025, all production cars must meet Euro-7 standards – period. Cars with internal combustion engines – to the dustbin of history.

Lose ahead

Such an approach requires significant investments from car manufacturers, for which no one will reimburse them. Many analysts of leading companies are simply sure that if the current policy line is continued, they will not be able to return the invested money in the supposedly promising direction.

The cost of electric vehicle technology is still so high that electric car production is unprofitable, even if the government encourages sales. What is left for companies? Just gently shift your problems onto the shoulders of buyers of conventional petrol cars. Therefore, the stubborn push by car manufacturers to increase production of electric trains directly raises the prices of all models, regardless of which engine they have under the hood.
