The EU executive appears to have yielded to the call from carmakers to be allowed to keep selling plug-in hybrids and range extenders with CO2-neutral biofuel or synthetic fuel
the electric vehicle industry says this will undermine investment and result in the EU yielding even more ground to China in the shift to EVs


just undercutting the economy. so short sighted. China is already way ahead, so let’s check notes do nothing!
It is still their fault for complacently failing to plan ahead 25 years ago and resting on their ICE laurels until the competition ate their lunch. The rest of the world will keep buying chinese cars and Europe will lag behind forever in this.
completely true. i’ve watched them drag their feet my whole life, over 40 years. this is their own fault. so short sighted.
