Switzerland could ban electric vehicles from being used non-essentially this winter as government officials begin to brace for an energy crisis during the winter months, according to reports.

The Telegraph reported on Saturday that Swiss officials have drafted emergency proposals that restrict power usage if things get bad this winter.

So it looks like all this elétrica car stuff just consumes more energy

In crisis, oil is much safer to use.

I believe this news shows how political and economical all this "carbon" discussion is, and not really ecological.

Curious is that bitcoin is not being banned from Switzerland. Probably eletric cars consume much more energy there.

So it looks like in

Its only an emergency proposal so they can be ready for crisis in the coming winter.
A ban on electric cars is not the precaution they're taking. Building could use less power, offices and shops could close two hours earlier. Electric cars would not be banned according to reports, it usage will just be limited to essential things like going to your place of work, visiting the doctor, attending court appointment and more. They're not doing this because the cars consume too much energy, they're are doing this because they're facing an energy crises due to the war. Even the countries they import electricity from (France, Germany) are all facing electricity crisis.
