Against this backdrop, the German government has reportedly decided to push for further changes in Brussels. According to Automobilwoche, these include:
- Less stringent requirements for plug-in hybrids
- Permitted excess emissions after 2035 do not need to be fully offset
- Vehicles powered exclusively by e-fuels should be ‘immediately’ classified as zero-emission vehicles
- CO₂ interim targets before 2035 should be made more flexible
- The German government rejects the planned supercredits for electric vehicles under 4.20 metres in length
- The government also rejects the proposed regulation for corporate fleets
We’re governed by completely clueless, unimaginative and corrupt imbeciles. It’s so clear to see, it really hurts. They do nothing that actually benefits the country. All that counts is power, and lining the pockets of their friends and themselves (golden parachutes after their time in government).
With these kind of politicians Germany is done for. And half the country is OK with it, or thinks literally Nazis are the solution.
