Audi, part of the VW empire, will shut down at least one production plant in February, with 3000 employees.

Mercedes has demanded a penalty fee for drivers of gasline-driven cars, it should be used to compensate Mercedes and other German brands for losses from their e-car-exclusive portfolios since German customer do not want to buy neither e-cars (sales numbers have dramatically collapsed) in generla nor Geran e-cars ins pecial due to their very high prices and high follow-on-costs that ordinary employees and households simpyl cannot afford.

What do we learn? If the one product - ecars - that you offer without any alternatives is not wanted by customers, call for totalitarian measures and planned economy to force people to like what they do not like (and still could not afford). This will people terach how to like what they do not like, and buy what they cannot afford.

A recent survey showed that a signfivcant part of German ecar customers sold their cars early again and refuse ti buy an ecar aagain. The disadvantages simply are that big. Its not just the high costs, but also the terrible range. Because ranges announced by car makers are blatant lies, calculating with half of these values, all too often even one third only in winter, is more realistic, it depends on the brand, model and market it was produced for. It gets worse with the long charging times (if you have a charging point in your vicinity). They say onb TV that it obly is about the bad chargign infrastruicre. They are wrong, that is just one of the reasons people turn away from ecars.

German brands have cimnjitted thnesleves to develope exclusively ecars only, no more gasolinbe.driven cars. Thats what now falls them on their feet. Asian car makers all produce - and develope! - technology-open, including combustion engine cars. Tnhats also true for China where the government has started a big initiative for favouring e-cars. But even Bejing is not so stubbornly prohibitve as Brussel and Berlin wnat to handle this issue.

In the end, reality will be smashing into ideology like an asteroid and make a pig's breakfast of delusional ideological megalomania. The EU policy of banning non-e-cars soon will not survive. And many other of its green agenda targets as well. They have lost all sense of proportion and realism. US and China will do their thing, and Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America do not need to listen to their European master lecturers anymore.
