The process to ban electric vehicles in Europe has been launched. Switzerland was the first to surrender. There, now, with a heavy load on the power grids, an
The European car industry took a leap. In an effort to look good and make money, automakers began to move en masse to “clean” technologies, declaring 2030 the year of the transition to “green” mobility. But it seems that these plans were not based on a reasonable analysis of the situation, but on the ability to hold on to a deep river of government funding.
Just the launch of one factory for the production of electric vehicles costs about 2 billion euros. And such costs, taking into account operating costs, cannot be recovered in a year or two: we are talking about decades. However, such a long-term strategy implies not only production, but also a constant increase in the demand for products. Moreover, against the background of the development of the relevant infrastructure. And now the situation looks very different.
The technology is there, production has been modernized, but demand is suddenly under pressure. If earlier Europeans did not limit themselves to the consumption of electricity, now the situation has changed: the sockets are empty for obvious reasons. And to find a way out of a difficult situation, European officials came up with a new trick. Let’s save energy, they say to the citizens. At the same time, it turned out that the concept of powerful, but “green” cars is absolutely contrary to the interests of European bureaucrats. Now the electric car has turned from an ally into a clear threat. What must we do?
And now bans on the use of electric vehicles are beginning to appear. In Switzerland, with a heavy load on the electricity grid, an electric car may only be used in emergency situations. In Germany, they are starting to think about limits to the use of charging stations. Faced with energy shortages, France and Austria also considered measures to limit the use of “electric trains”.
Given the herd effect, we can expect the European Union to sacrifice electric transport very quickly. And what should the car industry do, because huge investments are lost in this situation? In addition, the constant information pressure on people is starting to turn their positive attitude towards green mobility technologies into a strongly negative one. And where will Audi, Skoda, VW, Mercedes-Benz and others put their electric trains?
Neither America nor China will allow Europeans to enter their markets. More precisely, they will allow it, but only with the transfer of production. And it’s not just additional risks and financial burdens. At any time, the state supporting the project may turn out to be its opponent. This is modern politics.
As a result, a paradoxical situation arises in which the most favorable market for electric cars could turn out to be Russia with its blatant abundance of energy. There is only one problem: sanctions. They must be removed, but how? The decision certainly lies in the field of politics and will of course not be taken quickly.
And how to live this time? In addition, Russian automakers, with the active support of the state, are quickly and thoughtlessly trying to replicate the failed experience of Europeans, making electric mobility the equivalent of the success of the auto industry as a whole. But in fact, like their European counterparts, they simply control budget money.
Practice shows that existing electrical technologies are still incredibly dependent on a large number of factors, often beyond control even at the level of a single state. And according to the experts of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”, this can lead to a global review of the strategy for the development of the automotive industry. It is therefore quite possible that the course towards dominance of electric transport will be replaced by a compromise, whereby hybrid powertrains will take over.
