@EUCommission

A) who will show this to the German government?

B) Thank to customs duty for Chinese producers to save sleepy European combustion loving car manufacturers prices for bevs remain on high level.
And that's why people don't decide for the sophisticted technology.

The EU must remove customs duty for Chinese cars to force our manufacturers to produce high level BEVs on their own and abandon combustion machines.

(Look at the map, not at the toot.)

@EUCommission you missed off the UK. Oh yes, forgot. We didn't join yet.

@EUCommission Ahem, then why are you stopping the progress? Why can I still buy an ICE car? While are there still more subsidies for car infrastructure than any other means of transportation? WHY ARE THERE SUBSIDIES FOR GAS-GUZZLING CARS AT AL?

@EUCommission then stop German auto-makers sabotaging it with their side-hustle government.

@EUCommission clean future based on…coal? ;)

@EUCommission The EU fossil-fuel-car industry is very afraid and is spending a lot of lobby money to stop this progress and as usual the EU politicians will comply with their corporate masters

@EUCommission We need to move away from cars. E replacement does not fix the issues, only delay the process.

@EUCommission Vu de Belgique:
si demain le parc automobile belge (6M voitures / 12M habitants) était électrique, il faudrait grosso modo 45 réacteurs nucléaires (1 GW) supplémentaires sur ses petits 30.000 km².
Mouais... 🙄

Il faut changer de paradigme.

@EUCommission Unfortunately EVs are still outrageously expensive, and that explains why the percentage is so low in countries like Italy. You can't convince people with high prices, of both cars AND energy.

@EUCommission It looks much better if the difference is not so big between the EU countries. It's a shame that politicians steal the money for development instead they use it to develop their own country.

@EUCommission Being Swedish it's so funny to look at the Nordics here (Norway would be black if included) and remember how one of the old arguments against EVs from people who can't give up their engine sounds was that "they don't work in cold climates".

That's when they're at their best.

@EUCommission In Germany there are to different % numbers. Which one is it?

@EUCommission je vais acheter un vélo électrique à la place pour remplacer la voiture. C'est le meilleur compromis entre facilité de se déplacer et cause environnementale.

C'est moins greenwashing 🤭 puis c'est économiquement plus rentable

@EUCommission so 86% is still fossil?

EVs are better than ICEs, but autonomous vehicles would be even nicer.
I hope to live as long as seein them.
#autonomousvehicles

@EUCommission wow, Denmark 👀

@EUCommission die deutschen werden mit ihren #Verbrennern eventuell ein größere Reichweite haben, allerdings werden sie diese dann auch im Ausland benötigen um eine Tankstelle zu erreichen 🤪.

@EUCommission Good for pollution in the short time but what about the disposal of batteries in the long term? Is there a safe and sustainable solution as there are lots of poisonous parts to these?

@EUCommission Back in the day they called it Morocco.

@EUCommission I love that the Benelux countries are doing so well here.

@EUCommission Norway is also doing very good in this respect, although not in the EU they are part of the EEA.

@EUCommission

While it's less bad than if all these new car sales were petrol or diesel, a "clean future" is one where trains cover most travel and bicycles, trams and electric buses cover all short distances.

Europe, with its compact geography and pre-existing railway lines, is ideally suited to swiftly transition to a largely car-free society. That is the future.

@EUCommission well done, Denmark!
