The leaders of Germany’s 16 federal states have called on the European Union to review a ban on the sale of new combustion engines from 2035.
A rigid ban on combustion engine technology from 2035 onwards, without consideration of its actual feasibility, would not only jeopardize core industrial competencies and the competitiveness of Germany … but also the social acceptance of electric mobility," the state leaders said in a statement published following a meeting.
It’s like they’re trying to stand on the wrong side of history. I guess there’s the vote against Chat Control, for which they considered voting in favor of. There’s also the support for Ukraine, which they have been doing half-assed.
