Switzerland considers banning EVs during power shortages

https://www.drive.com.au/news/switze...wer-shortages/

Quote:
Switzerland is considering limits on the use of electric vehicles during electricity shortages, as it plans for such events as a result of the impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The electric-car restrictions are part of a staged austerity package including reducing the temperature of washing machines, banning the use of leaf blowers and seat heaters on ski lifts, and slowing video streaming to standard definition.

The power restrictions are only at the draft stage, with no timetable for implementation, and the electric-vehicle limits are only included in the level-three package for the most extreme power saving.

Causation > Correlation. It is in part a product of it's own success.
