Re: Should Electric Vehicles be Banned?

We're going to see more and more electric cars with new Euro emissions coming through.
"From 2021, phased in from 2020, the EU fleet-wide average emission target for new cars will be 95 g CO2/km.
This emission level corresponds to a fuel consumption of around 4.1 l/100 km of petrol or 3.6 l/100 km of diesel."
The fines of non compliance are huge - €95 for each g/km over the 95g multiplied by the number of cars sold that are not compliant.
For example - Mercedes Benz are currently at 138 g CO2/km average for their entire passenger car fleet with sales in Europe around 900k.
Therefore their fine would be (43 x 95) x 900 000 - totalling €3,676,500,000.
