In Germany, conservative and liberal parties want to end the previously decided-upon law that bans the sale of new petrol cars past 2035, in a bid to garner more votes from stupid people. They either don't realize or don't care that this will hurt German car manufacturers, like Porsche, who have invested into EVs in anticipation of this ban, who will now feel pressure to shift back to petrol cars, even though it is clearly evident that the future lies with EVs.
