I’m a little annoyed, because even though everyone talks about electric cars and emissions, reality is in stark reality.
The total of ALL electric cars in Germany is just below 200,000 (2018) from a total of 50,000,000 cars. On the other hand SUVs make up over 30% of all new cars (up thru 2019) totaling just over 1m by years end of 3m new cars in 2019. I’ll admit the Model 3 seems to be selling, although 6,000 cars compared to the top 5 selling nearly a million cars already, is barely a drop on the hot stone.
Then all these SUVs want to drive on the Autobahn at 200km/h (124mph). With data like this it makes more sense to drive a 991 GT3 or Ferrari F8 than an Q7, GLE or X5. They spew less C02, brake better (50m sooner), need less space (1/3) and all are driven by lone drivers anyway.
It’s not going to change soon as most can’t afford an electric car or live in an apartment making it (E-Bikes are more likely). Infrastructure in the electric grid or public transport isn’t up to the task as investments and time-frames are in the decades. 2003 there were 5 cases of near electric max-outs in 2014 already 450. The Deutsche Bahn needs to invest 100 billion in the next decade just to renew railways and not to increase their tracks.
In essence: By more sports cars and get an E-bike ;)
