Environmentalists earthquake in Greta: Some EU countries (and others) have moved in the opposite direction and opposite to incentive policy for electric cars. Around Switzerland, Sweden and GermanyIn the morning, bills were put forward aimed at obstructing the movement of these vehicles and suspending their allowances.

On the other hand, there is a Chinese powerhouse that is still racing in this sector as well. As it happens, Beijing is betting on the hybrid car to extend its tentacles into the global economy.
