France, Spain and five other EU member states have called on the European Union to maintain a clear and ambitious path towards electrification. The countries oppose any further easing of the regulations included in the EU’s auto package due in December, despite calls from Germany and others for additional concessions.

    And of course Germany is not one of them. Its car industry missed the turn to electric because it was busy being propped up by its government. Now it’s become even more of a politicum. Add to that an increasingly “conservative” and right-wing populist government… yeah.

      No. Of course Germany is not among them, because our shitstain of a chancellor and his cronies are the ones behind this movement. They want to ease up on the 2035 goal so our car industry can drag their feet even longer

      German cars are boring now. I grew up VW and then Skoda. Both are now overpriced. Audi has bad EV design and subscription. Moved to Merc and the boot on my E class is tinny and featureless, car is ok I guess.

      I was the A series of Audi cars as electrics, no subscription.

      Fuck telemetry toom
