La crise de l’automobile allemande a révélé l’attachement profond du pays à la maîtrise du métal, à la combustion et au sport automobile. Une culture mise à mal par le véhicule moderne, dominé par le logiciel, la batterie et la conduite autonome.
with fuel at €1.72–€1.74/L, EVs make more sense than the cheap gas sold in North America. But, as EV fleet numbers increase, petrol prices will increase because of less volume sold and petrol stations will be rarer. Petrol drivers will start getting range anxiety.
That is going to take years. Petrol stations already have the infrastructure and mostly make their money from the small store and not selling petrol. Germany and most of Europe are densly populated, so refineries shutting down, is not going to cause that much of a logistics problem either. Sweden and Finland might see that happen though, due to being less densly populated.
It would require a massive drop in ICE cars on the road to increase petrol prices in a country like Germany. I very much doubt it is going to happen in the coming decade.
