The EU executive appears to have yielded to the call from carmakers to be allowed to keep selling plug-in hybrids and range extenders with CO2-neutral biofuel or synthetic fuel
the electric vehicle industry says this will undermine investment and result in the EU yielding even more ground to China in the shift to EVs
europe already had shitty practices before americanization could have been an excuse. also, Frontex, AfD, Marine le Pen, Meloni,, all that crap, seems to be stemming from a systemic problem in europe with the right wing actual nazis and actual nazi sympathizers. Spain only stopped being a literal fascist country in the 1970s. It's easy to dunk on America, because America is loudly doing shit that's obviously bad all the time. But it seems to me that Europe is on par with america, except here in europe, you also have to deal with the Fr*nch.
