The electric car ‘revolution’ is a disaster before it’s begun | Politicians are forcing electric cars on a public that doesn’t want them

... But with electrification barely off the starting grid, one by one the big carmakers are already pulling back as demand badly falters. Volkswagen is so concerned about flagging sales that it has taken the extraordinary decision of halting electric vehicle production at one of its biggest plants. Assembly lines for electric models will be paused for six weeks at the Emden factory in northwest Germany and 300 of its 1,500 staff laid off after sales fell 30pc short of forecasts. ...

Seems like good news--and it is to a point. But it's not an accident.

The WEF have no intention that EVERYONE drives electric cars.

They want you--you peasant!-- on foot, bike, or public transit.

How can we tell? There is NO WAY the existing electric grid could support the demand for charging electric cars, and there is NO effort being made to upgrade it.
