"Sure - they are the comforting security blanket for drivers who still suffer from range anxiety. But every time a buyer opts for a plug-in hybrid instead of a pure EV, we are kicking the charging infrastructure further down the road, delaying the investments needed to build a strong network of chargers across every corner of the continent."

the truth no euros want to discuss..
the reason is decline in quality of life due to illegal migrants that they voted to import.
these illegal migrants are a net negative and drain on society.
all these supposedly 'phds, doctors, engineers'

look at the uk..
whats the adult population of uk?
aston martin sales in the uk alone should be in the millions per year and increasing right?
mclaren?

as time goes on, your quality of life should increase allowing you to afford and better things.

why is it so difficult for europeans to say..
europe for europeans only.
