The transition was supposed to go on for 13 years after its announcement in 2022 but was abandoned only a year after its adoption. What happened?

Prodded by climate activists, the EU was pressured to ban fossil fuel vehicles and replace them with battery-powered vehicles. The problem is that such a transition is impossible:

  • Transitioning to electric passenger vehicles will increase electricity demand by 25%.
  • Transitioning to electric trucks will further raise electricity demand to a total of 40% increase.
  • EU is phasing out fossil fuel generation and replacing it with unreliable solar and wind generation – thus decreasing power availability instead of increasing it to meet greater demand.
  • As cars and especially trucks are charged at night, solar and wind power cannot contribute to charging.
