Switzerland wants to ban electric cars to conserve scarce energy

We're seeing the fruits of leftist policy coming to maturity. Enjoy.

Remember, many EU countries have already passed laws that will ban gas-powered engines in the near future. The morons who run California did the same thing.

Swiss look to ban use of electric cars over the winter to save energy

hotair.com

The European Union jumped on the electric vehicle craze well ahead of other parts of the world, particularly after the Paris climate accord. But in typical socialist fashion, they weren’t content with simply encouraging people to switch to EVs. Many European countries almost immediately started making plans to ban gas-powered cars and trucks and make EVs mandatory. Lots of Europeans wanted to get out ahead of the curve and began snapping the newer models up. But then came the start of the war in Ukraine, cutting energy supplies just as Europe was trying to wean itself off of fossil fuels. Now, in a rather embarrassing reversal, Switzerland is considering legislation that would ban people from driving electric vehicles except in urgent conditions over the winter because there simply might not be enough juice on the grid to recharge them.

Switzerland could be the first country to impose driving bans on e-cars in an emergency to ensure energy security. Several media report this unanimously and refer to a draft regulation on restrictions and bans on the use of electrical energy. Specifically, the paper says: “The private use of electric cars is only permitted for absolutely necessary journeys (e.g. professional practice, shopping, visiting the doctor, attending religious events, attending court appointments).” A stricter speed limit is also planned highways.

Switzerland rules.

Why? Cuz they have everyone's money

My guess is that Switzerland gets their way, but the rest of the EU will have EV's mandated.

It is amazing that the AGW scam artists have been able to get the Sheeple to believe that EVs are somehow good for the environment.

L-I vehicle technology is an ecological disaster on several levels.

I don't think these stupid Moon Bats understand how much energy it takes to charge the damn things. No less the damage to the environment producing the things.

Leftist solutions are never meant to solve anything.

Once their policy fails, they simply blame it on big oil or big pharma or Putin or Orange man etc.

Then they move onto other "solutions"

Rinse, wash, repeat.

They are never held accountable for anything, and with a media that is their own personal propaganda machine, they don't have to be accountable.

Actually, the more destructive their solutions the more desperate people become for those offering solutions.

We need a final solution to the leftist problem.

I consider any politician or activist that is pushing AGW to be a terrorist. Before this scam is over, the global economy is going down and the depression that follows will cause a huge number of deaths around the planet. These insane bastards don't CARE. They are the real-deal, true believers in the "end justifies the means". I never really believed so many otherwise rational human beings could be programmed to cheerfully destroy their own lives for the sake of a myth.

Switzerland isn't in the EU.

That's easy. Shut down their propaganda arm. TOTALLY. When their media tells a lie, have laws that cause them so much pain they never do it again. Without that constant stream of emotional nonsense they rely on, they'd never win another seat at the table.

When you can indoctrinate youth instead of educating them, the options for controlling them are endless. I graduated from a public high school in poor old Mobile, Alabama in 1979 and I guarantee that I could answer trivia questions on geography, politics, hell, even basic math, better than some Ivy League grads today. It's kind of depressing, actually.

Flip the switch from suck to blow!

Switzerland isn't in the EU.

But the EU could put pressure on the Swiss to do their bidding, much like the EU telling Elon Musk he must do certain things or they won't do business on Twitter.

But like I say, the Swiss have all their money, so maybe they will be left alone, like they always are.

It truly is a utopia there.

Switzerland is the most right wing country in the world, with the most stringent of immigration policies and everyone is trained to use automatic weapons, and have them to use. This is because they don't have an army

But why would they need one? Hitler and his generals had all their money there.

LOL.

That reminds me I bought the 4k of that and never watched it. Have to remember to pull that out this weekend, been a while since I watched a comedy anyway.

 

[Desperado]

It is all about control, so don't think it would not happen here

 

[Independentthinker]

Banning them because it still takes regular old fashioned electricity to charge the batteries, causing us to need fossil fuels.

Pedal power!!!

*****CHUCKLE*****

I recently bought a gas power inverter generator just in case I have to get an EV.

"These proposed measures haven’t been passed into law just yet. But they serve as a reminder that electricity doesn’t magically appear at every wall outlet — and EVs don't run on fairy dust."

It is foolish and illegal to mandate for EV's.
Instead they should be banned, since they use up Rare Earth Elements, are a fire hazard, and they pollute about twice as much as the best diesel cars, and 100% more than hydrogen vehicles.
