Pressure from Far-Right politicians and car makers have turned the boat, once again.

All i can see it doing is playing further into the hands of Tesla and the Chinese companies (BYD etc). When these OEM's start the electric again, they'll even further behind and require major public help or have to shut down.

Here's one article.

You can add the French to that list now as well. The EU had to change the regulations regarding sales of vehicles or other country's would have followed the UK, like that has worked well for them Lol

Interesting. All I saw in those articles were conservative politicians. None of them are far right.

They're more likely to be seconded into making drones and munitions at the rate the world is going, nevermind the EVs.

Edit: politicians, French are voting as we speak, sportsbet has Trump at 1.57 currently so there goes the neighbourhood, again
