While the European Commission is trying to break the resistance of some European Union countries against the definitive ban on sales of cars with internal combustion engines from 2035, global sales of electric cars (EVs), which are supposed to replace conventional cars, are falling dramatically.
The refusal of the governments of Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic and other countries to sign this week in the Council of the European Union at the level of departmental ministers the definitive ban on the registration of new cars with an internal combustion engine from 2035 is the first most visible sin in many years of the followers of extremist and economically sounding green transition in the carbon-free EU in 2045. Green ideologues first chose cars with internal combustion engines (of which around 300 million in EU countries account for less than two percent of the world’s CO₂ emissions) as the most visible slapstick.
It happened again last week in the discussion program of Czech televisionwhen the MEP for Pirty, Mikul Peksa, defended himself vote of 3 Pirt MPs and Luka Niedermeyer from TOP09 in the European Parliament for the destruction of internal combustion cars, which contradicts the national terms of R. Take the enforcement of requirements in the EU so that even after 2035 cars with internal combustion engines can be produced, it is evident that under the conditions of technological neutrality they will be able to thus powered by vodka and synthetic fuels, not just batteries.
The European auto defense, outclassed by the Dieselgate scandal of 2015, is now lobbying again, with the political super weight of its 14 million employees and tax revenue for the deficit national European budget. Not to mention the innovative side of Europe’s automotive industry, its internal combustion engine technology has not been surpassed by anyone of the elite. In the case of e-cars, half of their value is made up of batteries and, as necessary, software, in particular, they are at risk of dominating the fallen world with many economic and political consequences. Due to the EU, Zelen generously ignores and downplays the geopolitical risks for Europe.
According to a survey by Rystad Energy, only 672,000 EVs were sold worldwide in January, which is half of the sales in December 2022. According to the electric car market among the two passenger cars sold, it fell to 14% in January, which is significantly less than in December 23%. It is a result of the fact that the majority of states are not able to motivate EV purchases with generous tax credits and direct subsidies due to deficit budgets.
Sales of EVs in Germany fell by roughly one-tenth compared to 2022 in January and amounted to only 27,000 units for the whole month. The thorn in the country has also fallen sharply: after electric cars made up 55% of all cars sold in December 2022, the market has fallen to just 15%. Elsewhere in Europe, the electric car market in Great Britain has halved in the interim from 40% to 20% and in the Netherlands from 50% to 24%. This downward trend is repeated in the rest of Europe, and the car manufacturer is thus preparing for sleepless nights.
Non-EU Norway, whose economy is hypocritically built on the import of oil and natural gas, recorded the worst mass sales of passenger cars in the last 60 years, when only 1,860 vehicles were sold, including 1,419 electric cars. The Norwegian government has recently imposed two new taxes on battery electric cars, which will have a negative impact on sales. In the Czech Republic, the unsubsidized sale of electric cars to private individuals with 3,800 cars and the total sales (195,000 new cars) is negligible.
Car manufacturers are thus caught in the trap of policy aimed at regulation and decarbonization, which led them to huge investments in the electromobility project. The latter collapsed when the market became saturated with what rich consumers could buy subsidized cars. Thus, investment in EVs threatens to turn into a loss for European automakers, because millions of sales of unusually expensive electric cars with problematic utility value will face a harsh reality. The result should be not only the mass dismissal of employees of some of the European Union’s industries, car companies, but also insolvency and bankruptcies of renowned brands. In Germany, the trade unions declared a state of emergency, when it turned out that 900,000 long-term workers, including family members, would lose their jobs due to the failure of the internal combustion engines.
The German Minister of Finance for the liberal FDP Christian Lindner, contrary to the ideological positions of the co-government Greens and Social Democrats, claims that the German state budget does not have the necessary funds to subsidize the purchase of electric cars for rich Germans who buy EVs as the 2nd and 3rd car in the family. A rich German gave the dog a generous subsidy of 9,000 euros (approx. 240,000 K) per EV from his donation of more than a million crowns. Even in Germany, there is no poor household for such a co-financed self-mortgage. It is expected that in January 2023, the German subsidy will end completely in January 2023, and in 2024, an increase in the amount of 200 billion will be launched to support the purchase of EVs. Then there will be a clash with the harsh reality of the market, whether, despite the missing data, consumers will still want e-cars.
The drop in sales of electric cars in January was so dramatic, with a 50% month-on-month drop, that it even brought down the price of lithium, the key raw material for the production of EV batteries, which is controlled by the dominant na, so lithium is even traded on world exchanges in the national currency. And that’s because a number of domestic manufacturers offer far cheaper electric cars compared to the rest of the world. Tesla brand owner Elon Musk overcame the problems with the sale of his EVs on the Chinese and world markets, when prices fell by an average of 20% since January. In vain were the demands to compensate them for the loss of value of their Tesla car, which today, even as a used car, is not a cheap new car. Elon Musk and other companies are now maximally participating in the US market after President Joe Biden announced $369 billion in subsidies, including support for electromobility, to support the domestic economy. Thanks to the newly introduced incentives, 80,000 electric cars were sold in January in the USA, which represents 7.8% of the market.
There is no scope for reducing the prices of electric cars in the Western world due to the aforementioned trap of large investments and small sales volumes. Because in the jet vt trap, it is not the Finnish car manufacturers who are their suppliers of parts and components, which are severely affected by the increase in energy and material prices. As he described
2. The current report of the Hospodsk noviny newspaper, the Czech Republic, has increased in the automotive industry (10% of GDP, a quarter of exports, half a million employees) and a supplier of automotive parts, which, meanwhile, was unable to promote the car to the Finnish manufacturers, responding to the price. This would also be reflected in a further increase in the prices of cars with internal combustion and electric engines, which have been continuously increasing for the past two years, most recently in January 2023. If production at major suppliers were to stop, the stop sign would necessarily stop even for the final production of the car.
It turns out that the sharp increase in the price of cars with internal combustion engines can help with the payment of fines of 95 euros for each gram above the limit emission of 95 g CO₂/km, when the sales of cars with internal combustion engines are put on hold so that car companies do not have to pay the EC coffers in the fleet mix billions in fines. On the one hand, the proceeds from the sale of conventional cars help with the financing of electromobility, and on the other hand, the price of conventional cars is to optically stick out the thorny issue of the affordability of very expensive fully electric cars. The result is a decline in sales of all types of cars in Europe, with a return to the cumulative lows of tens of years ago.
While the green ideology in the EU countries still promotes the electrification of mobility and the use of heat pumps for heating the home, due to the hot climate of stable coal sources, the prospects for the supply of stable electricity are increasing. The first day without a new one sttn enterprise EPS published an alarming prediction that in 2025 R will become an importer of electricity from countries that have so far been exporting it (a total of 13.5 TWh in 2022). Thus, the difference between 2022 and 2025 promises a drop of around 20 TWh, which is one-third of the total electricity consumption (60 TWh) in R. From where and for how much, if at all, will we drive industry, households, heat pumps and electric cars with deficit electricity ( even when according to them there are still only a few negligible per thousand on the total fleet of 6.9 million vehicles)?
The German Minister of Economy and Climate Protection for Zelen, Robert Habeck, agreed that in the event of a deficit of electricity, those local authorities (as with our EPS) will first disconnect electric cars and heat pumps from the mains. With regulation (restriction) on the side of the consumer sweat in his analysis so esk EPS. Germany continues to insist on its ideology of moving away from nuclear power, coal and, from 2035, natural gas. In them, they are to save two sources of energy (RES), dominant solar panels and two internal power plants, where their energy production can help to produce large quantities of vodka by electrolysis of water.
According to chancellor Olaf Scholz, starting this year, every day Germany can put solar panels on the ground and roofs with an area of 43 football fields and build 31 internal power plants, of which 4 are offshore, and double 800,000 km of electricity. In exchange for gas and heating oil, 1,600 heat pumps can be installed every day at our fallen neighbors. In 2035, Germany will have an energy capacity of 100% from RES (368 GW out of a total of 150 GW). For the realization of these phantasmagoric goals, this technology has to deliver a dictatorial power. And what will happen in the future confrontation with the democratic West?
In 2022, the Communist Party itself commissioned an unprecedented new capacity of 106 GW in coal-fired power plants, i.e. an average of two large new thermal power plants per week. It easily eliminated all projects to reduce CO₂ emissions for the planet in the West. Yes, for such a state of nuclear, solar and internal sources, a small modular reactor was the first to be put into operation. Because without stable, safe and affordable energy in all forms, we will not have time to develop.
The fallen ideology of scientists promotes and realizes the separation of the stability of energy supply from the development of society. We are going back several, if not hundreds of years, not only in energy, but in general economically, socially and politically. And what is the result of the burning decarbonization efforts: in the EU (and dominant in the poor countries of Central and Eastern Europe), sales have increased practically everywhere, and a hundred used cars with internal combustion engines and a few million households have turned to local heating with wood and coal, and whose car . For the green ideology in the EU, the same applies as for all ideologies before it: the road to hell is paved with good minds.
