VW and Renault end talks to develop affordable EV

- most people are Luddite, despite all the claim most do not want any revolution, they do fear any change;

- due to managerism the EU automotive, once the first and the best in the wold, is pure finance since decades, so completely lack substantial R&D, as a result we can't compete with China who actually what we have done in the past, when the automotive was the whole-industries driver.

China do a kind of public R&D, oh yes, not really a "free" one, but at least they have standards and public coordination, here in the whole west anyone go private and as a result innovation wane and capability to substantially evolve essentially disappear.

A BEV today, seeing it's useful expected life and performances should have price tags between city-centric toys sub 10.000€, entry-level real car with at least 400km WLTP/250 miles EPA range around 20.000€, mid-level cars, larger, with more accessories etc at 30.000€ range and so on. Actually our EU EVs are Chinese anyway and priced around 20.000€ too much to be acceptable.

Aside photovoltaic is pushed in bad directions for large corporate interests instead of the sole sensible direction witch is pure self-consumption to lower grid peak usage for the grid and spare money for the owner. In that sense we are even terribly behind in mere tech terms: we have stationary storage that are typically LFP 400V the very same of most cars, but there is NO DAMN charging station DC-to-DC from p.v. to the car to avoid wasting much in a double conversion. There is NO V2H solution and only few cars are capable of limited V2L around 3kW maximum. There are almost NO appliance easy to integrate with a self-consumption model on sale, no appliance offer a DC-DC direct power even for those internally actually use DC like aircon, heat-pump water heater and so on.

Unfortunately our economic ruling class want the green new deal to push most to poverty to enslave better, well, most are ignorant but not so ignorant nor stupid enough to understand at least something, so the green deal happen badly and late killing us. That's is. OR we made it PUBLIC for the PUBLIC interest or we will loose ALL, ruling class included, they simply want too much so they'll loose anyway.
