Not everyone is ready to join the hysteria that is unfolding in a growing spiral around the production of electric vehicles and the battle against traditional internal combustion engines. Many professionals see no environmental benefit, no economic effect and indeed a reasonable start.
But they are all under tight scrutiny and cannot afford to go against the mainstream at the risk of losing a hot spot with a good salary. However, sometimes it becomes unbearable for them to keep the secret knowledge within themselves and they let it go.
Such an incident happened to the head of the Volkswagen concern, Thomas Schaefer. He was outraged by the next environmental standard “Euro-7”, which European Commission officials, insane with impunity, will bring into force as early as 2025.
“This is insane,” exclaims a manager who, unlike European officials, has worked in the auto industry for over 30 years. A terrible blow is being prepared for budget cars in their irresponsibility. According to Mr. Schaefer, an enormous amount of work will be required to thoroughly modernize the engines to meet the new parameters, which have apparently been taken from the ceiling.
An interesting feint turns out – if the famous VW Polo now costs about 20,000 euros, then as a result of all the R&D carried out, the price will increase by a quarter – to 25,000. Therefore, the head of the concern believes that after all the calculations are completed, “the company will definitely not invest” in budget ICE cars.
On the other hand, the same top manager declares that his employees are faced with the task of launching the production of “budget” electric cars at a price of up to 25 thousand euros by the same 2025. True, he still doesn’t know how to achieve this – engineers can’t yet make a relatively cheap battery with a decent energy supply. Does the coincidence of numbers remind you of anything?
It’s hot, don’t wash, so skate. If it is not possible to reduce the price of an electric car to an acceptable level, then you just need to force the car manufacturer to increase the cost of a car with an internal combustion engine to the level of an “environmentally friendly” vehicle. And the unrealistic Euro-7 is an excellent means of achieving this goal. Well, if the recalcitrant automakers miraculously find a way out, they’ll invent a kind of Euro-8.
It is not a pity that the Polo, which came on the market in 1975, is allowed to enter the dustbin of history on the eve of its 50th anniversary. It is a pity that all budget cars face the same thing.
And another open secret was given by Thomas Schaefer. The incomparable production costs of electric vehicles were partially covered by sales of traditional cars. The cessation of production of the latter will lead to a rapid increase in prices for electric cars, and therefore unaffordable. The question is – are there really insane guys at the head of serious countries and companies who are oblivious to their actions?
Maybe. But rather they act according to a clear plan. And this plan is to deprive the population of the planet of all kinds of property. No wonder car sharing, coworking, co-living and other cars and cores are actively promoted. To deprive a person of his roots and all guidelines in life is the job of globalist manipulators.
