  1. Not just the Germans, but most Western Automakers were warned that the more they delay in investing into R&D, the more expensive it'll be to remain competitive. Toyota and Mazda are the most infamous anti-ev players and they compromised themselves. The incompetence of executives shouldn't be defended and bailed out, like the bankers of 2008. The excuse was that there would never be any market demand for electric vehicles, or hybrids +15 years ago. That's why they all try to manipulate and lobby law makers, they're fundamentally anti-demicratic in our societies, only wanting to sell us what's most profitable for them - diesel premium SUVs. But the writing and legislation was on the wall for over a decade and now they're frantic, not just because of Tesla but because BYD and other Chinese brand have mass-adoptable/affordable EVs that Tesla isn't bothered to make...

  3. More is yet to come, gradually and overwhelmingly. The true arsonists being oil companies, other industries, shareholders, conservative law makers and the capitalist ecomomy that worships ecomomic growth unsustainably will be to blame.

  5. Clearly neocolonial interests, world rules based order, capitalism, etc etc. Our economies in the west are fragile and vulnerable to collapse if they don't grow, have to keep expanding growth and profit and have control over commodity prices of raw materials Or "recession"

  8. ​​​​​ @Nom_AnorVSJedi  You didn't forget Aptera? I've followed the EV scene long enough to recognise the difference between sustainable innovation, and investor opportunism and an obsession for wealth. And to be honest, given that Tesla is much more of a silicon valley company and a favourite pump-dump stock than it is an EV company, it has a very tall perch to fall from and Chinese EVs will push it. Resource hungry status symbols are not going to do well in the future. A modern day Citroën 2CV would be a killer.

  12. China has the products today that's key to decarbonisation. From truly affordable EVs, micromobility to Solar panels. The tariffs and protectionism from the EU is a bitter step in the wrong direction, for the political act of protecting the consistent, fraudulent shortsightedness of VW Automotive Group chairmen, executives, and so on. The workers and local economy of Europe's automotive chain industry should be protected far more than the executives and investors who squandered oppertunities and drove them and their company into oily dirt. They are dead weight

  16. Hawaii is in the tropics, wild fires are unusual, same thing with the fires that devastated the blue mountains in eastern Australia. There wasn't enough fire fighters and funding for these areas, let alone enough to anticipate climate disasters. It's climate change, it's political and economic vandalism on nature. Indigenous peoples are the ones who warned of the damage, who know the solutions and are those must vulnerable to disasters after decades of genocide. Just heard that over 100 had died. That's criminal and we know who the criminals are, they have careers in fossil fuels, laws and politics, they have names and addresses.

  25. Bad direction. Your argument is what VW, Kia and Hyundai are already doing that, they're trying to establish themselves as premium brands because it's the only way to achieve high and competitive profit margins and keep it at a distance from inflation. That's why there's very few affordable city cars and any examples left are more expensive than every before

  31. It's no difference here. Same nationalist pressures apply. What's different is that Chinese electric vehicles have been planned and invest a decade in advance. Western automakers, including Toyota and other Asian brands have squandered that time to prepare and invest. Petrol and Diesel SUVs were most profound and that's what they did for over a decade. Pretending that there was no demand for electrification until too late

  45. The *DUP my man. Thats where this mess has lied on. The DUP jumped into a coalition with the Tories to avoid a legal inquirey over their responsibility of a scandalous "green energy" scheme, where there was a 170% incentive (money given) to burn chipwood, which ended up with hundreds of open barns and factory warehouses burning as much wood as they could to make money. Arlene Foster, DUP leader refused to step down for the inquiry and Stormont government collapsed over 2 years ago. Then the DUP accepted a £1 billion deal from May to form a coalition. The DUP were the ones that dragged the negotiations back in 2017 and 2018. The DUP were the ones to stretch the backtop from just Northern Ireland to the whole UK. It's the DUP

  62. You need to let go of the Tesla supremacy. What you don't see is how it is affecting the the industry wide market. Making competitors to make EVs is great, that's what's great about Tesla despite the fact that it's legislation that forces them; but when chasing Tesla like a dragon pushes Kia - Hyundai into making obscenely posh products, it creates the dilemma that there are no affordable EVs for mass adoption. It's self defeating. Not for the sake of chasing Tesla, but Tesla makes the highest profit margins and that's what competitors want. It's why we have nothing but overly expensive and pretentious crossover SUVs, petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric. And guess what, it turbocharges inflation. Profits will lose value with inflation, but if every business has to prioritise profits, don't be surprise when everything jumps in price to remain competitive (profit making).

  66. Volkswagen, like every other automaker like KIA and Hyundai are trapped in a "competitive" business model that must compete with Tesla's premium, high profit margin model. Frankly this is what Audi perfected earlier. And what this does is creates multi-industry wide inflation on the price of goods and services because every competitor is chasing profits and ending up turbocharging inflation, inflation reduces the value of profits (which must grow YoY for Return of Investment or everybody dies for some reason)

Citroën C1, Peugeot 108, Toyota Aygo, and all the combustion variants of the VW UP! were simply not making enough profit to please the business men, even if they're more sustainable options than Crossovers. Small and affordable cars have minute profit margins, over time those profit margins decrease in value and they were simply axed. A lot of people wrongly blame EVs when it has been a market wide trend of inflation created by the competitive sales of premium, +20% profit margin vehicles like Audis, BMWs and Teslas Look at Hyundai and Kia's best sellers. Diesel powered crossover Tuscons and giant EV halo cars designed to compete with Tesla, Audi and BMW.

Light breezes seem to have disappeared. We're a small island in the Atlantic. I've known Italian, Greek and even a Lebanese person who asked why a warm 20°C day in Ireland feels so heavy. It's odd to think that in much warmer and drier countries they found it harder to focus and rest in Ireland. The heat isn't coming directly from the sun, but it sticks to you.

This prevents the youth and social brain drain which Hungary and Poland experience, this prevents the expensive reality of committed democratic participants to spend lots of money to fly back home (ala Ireland in 2015, 2018). There is already a signature petition for this where if it reaches its goal it will be brought to the EU Parliament. It's not easy to find however

This boils down entirely to the discretion of which political party that may be in power to enact such laws.

  358. If it weren't for Dieselgate, the German auto industry would be even less prepared. Germany should've been worried a decade ago when VAG executives were fighting tooth and nail fighting against a meagre reduction of fleet emissions from 160g/km to 120 When the German automotive industry should have been seriously investing R&D in EVs. Look at the consequence now, not only has Tesla made a stranglehold in Germany and the rest of Europe, Tesla is absolutely dwarfed by China's +decade-long dedicated investment in electrification

Not just the skills and employment alone it will help filter and reserve the watertable, boost sorely needed pockets of biodiversity that farmers do rely on and reduce flooding and soil erosion events now with higher percipitation from a recors warm Atlantic.

  386. This free market madness is totaling up to social murder, it has to end. Freedom of exchange/capital has to end. There's no planning, there's no bright future. Extreme rents in Ireland and elsewhere in northern Europe pushes desperate people abroad to move south to Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, etc because of how much more affordable it is to live there. It clearly doesnt last long and has severe ramifications on local communities.

  391. In fairness to the journalist (that I'd imagine DW isn't stupid enough to believe authentically) he may be acting as the brexiteer. Questioning hard but in the perspective a brexiteer wouldn't be offended by - it's a good trojan horse for factual reporting (from Phillipe Lamberts) to be accepted by the wound up, fundamental and paranoid reactionaries.

  398. They had their chance 10 years ago. They all had electric and plug-in hybrid concepts and working concepts back then and squandered them for diesel. Toyota and Mazda was too busy spouting BS how there'll be no market demand for EVs, even if they were forced to produce compliance electric cars for California They made their bed, now they must lie in it. But I by they'll hold workers hostage who had no say in poor sighted executive decisions

  407.  @eugenefirebird8938  "not true"? get your head out of your hole. You remember 2008? You remember the decade that followed? Don't you see how inflation crept up before COVID and "free money". Free money goes straight to industries that have lost months of profit from COVID, free money and bailouts were given after the 2008 crash. It's what you call corporate socialism, but it's still capitalism. When our govt and financial institutions pump "free money" into private industries that are free to horde money in a bank and put it into speculative shares and investments, that creates inflation. A capital dominated system. Don't fool yourself.
