[In your best Col. Klink voice...] "We have ways to make you drive electric." Germany Electric Car Sales Plummet 30% As Country Floats Idea Of Weekend Driving Ban!
In my previous post I looked at Canada's response to electric vehicles. Germany isn't much different.
The massive sales drop is bad news for the current German socialist-green government, which aims to have 15 million vehicles on the road by 2030. Currently there are just 1.4 million!
The dismal trend underscores the unpopularity of electric cars and consumers’ hesitancy when it comes to purchasing them. Electric vehicles are plagued by limited range, sparse charging infrastructure, steep upfront purchase price and their huge environmental impact, which involves the largescale mining of rare earths.
And since people won't do what the powers that be want them to do, the people will be punished.
Germany’s federal minister of transportation, Dr. Volker Wissing, is threatening to ban driving on weekends by motorists in order othe country “to meet climate goals set forth by the Climate Protection Act.”
Does that sound like democracy? Does that sound like something the the people would actually vote for, or does that sound like tyranny?
