RC:
Germany has 83 Mio. people, is one of the most important economies on this planet.
Car sold in Europe last year: 15,631,687 cars
Germany: 3,441,262 which is 22%...of Sales volume in Europe which is not the biggest market in the world in term of volumes.
France: 2.1 Million
US: 17.1 Million
China: 28,879,000
India: 3,229,100
Russia: 1.7 Million
Japan: 4.34 Million
Bazil: 2.1M
and you can continue like that for a long list of mega volume sales.
German Manufacturers shall move quickly or they will be the most impacted.
Many car experts here say that VW and other big manufacturers who push hard with EVs, especially in Europe, will fail. Why? Because even now, the EV market is saturated, there is not enough demand for the many new models coming. I tend to agree.
Do you see VW investing huge amount of money for no reason? the future is not German market, the future is no oil reserve anymore at some point and the tech needs to move to other fuel energy. EV is bad or not but EV will work with much less oil than any current car.
