Herd mentality and a stab at political correctness by all the others.
Yes electric and hybrid cars are (unfortunately) our future, but the politicians of the world are setting impossible goals, case in point.
Denmark is currently in the midst of an election, all parties are falling over themselves in appearing more climate friendly than the others with statements of all Diesel cars being banned from anywhere between 2025 and 2030, with a goal of 1 million electric cars on the streets by 2030....
And what are the numbers.
- 2018 about 270.000 new cars sold in Denmark mix of gas and diesel
- 2018 there were 1548 electrical cars sold
- All electrical cars are sold at a discount, less taxes than on a regular car - currently 20% discount.
- Some years ago when the taxes went from zero to match gas and diesel cars the sale of electrical cars went down.
- If you ware to serve 1 million electrical cars with loading stations in 2030, you have to build 230 new ones every month from now on.
- Denmark is currently getting DKK 80 billion from the car taxes, the electrical cars are being 'sold' by the various parties as no tax, instead replacing by a CO2 use algorithm.
It is a fantasy all over the world that electrical cars is happening now, I know it will happen eventually it will not be by 2030.
