logiccircuit··on For the first time in Europe, registrations for EVs overtook diesel
the cars s/he mentioned are estimated at 100k euros, and in poland thats a lot. dont be fooled by european hybrids - they pollute more because the electric engine runs for short distances, and when it doesnt carrying it actually takes more fuel. i am all for evs and proper hybrids but this is not the case.

odds are that diesel x5 2l engine might pollute less than a 3l “hybrid”. the engines are usually larger on so called brids so they can carry all that dead weight.

Yeah but it makes german carmakers looks good - in fact we are back to square one: guzzlers and high polluting engines.

dont be fooled - these are mainly german hybrid cars which are in fact guzzlers. the new german carmaker scam is to slap a low quality electric engine on an otherwise highly polluting car, so buyers avoid paying taxes (there are many incentives for buying evs and hybrids, sadly exploited by such carmakers).

I dont know but perhaps selling the flat and buying a house with the money you would have spent on either of the two cars would have been wiser? Or showing status is more important around that part of europe?
