WAY:
Can be dead if they all start selling EV and hybrids instead.
This takes a lot of time and ELVs will be expensive in the beginning, unless the government subsidizes them (not very likely, too expensive). Another problem is the charging infrastructure. Even at Porsche in Zuffenhausen/Weissach, you barely have charging stations for the hybrids there.
As an example: My wife's Cayenne consumes around 10 -11 liters Diesel in her daily commute (more of course when I drive it ). My little Mini JCW consumes the same amount of fuel and fuel is around 20 Euro Cents more expensive per liter than Diesel.
Many Diesel cars with 200-300 hp engines have a real life fuel consumption of around 7-9 liters /100 km, so take a guess which cars will be still around in a couple of years. They are perfect for the daily commute, Diesel isn't as expensive as fuel, the torque is amazing while driving at the usual speeds here (up to 160 kph) and consumption is ridiculous compared to fuel engines with similar power and torque.
