In the largest federal state

How mobility survey pulls the plug on e-cars

An EU table uncovered by the "Krone" newspaper shows how e-cars also contribute to harmful CO₂ emissions , which urgently need to be reduced. As a result, Brussels has rowed back on the planned ban on combustion engines. In Lower Austria, Austria's largest federal and commuter state, people are taking note of this with interest. As an explosive mobility study shows, people in this vast country are not very convinced by electric mobility anyway. 

The EU Commission had actually planned not to allow any new vehicles with combustion engines from 2035 onwards and to rely 100 percent on electric cars. But only really. Because, as we all know, e-cars of all things are now to blame for the fact that this will not happen. It was recognized in Brussels that electric cars are not climate-neutral vehicles - and that they themselves contribute to harmful CO₂ emissions.

At EU level, this has meant that the planned end for combustion engines is no longer on the cards for the time being. But what does this mean for electromobility in Austria? Brand-new and as yet secret statistics from Austria's number one commuter country reveal some explosive facts.
