I think it is important to note here that such a ban could only happen in the event that Switzerland faces major problems with the supply of electricity and that this is only one of the measures they have put on the table, and that the term "nonessential" is also emphasized, which means that the ban would not apply to everyone. The measures that are still being considered are, of course, much broader and even go so far as to reduce the resolution of streaming services.

It can happen in California too, and there was supposed to be a lot of green and cheap energy there but instead, there is no energy, it has the most expensive power rates in the states, and so on.
The problems are the same, you can only have one limited amount of energy created with green initiatives, and only during certain times, there is no way to expand hydroelectricity capacity in Switzerland so all they can do is import from others, just like California, but when the others are going the moronic way too, this happens.

Does Switzerland even have any refineries for oil to gas?

Just one, close to the border with France on one of the pipelines that bring oil in and next to one of the gas pipe that comes from Germany to Italy but most diesel and gasoline has always been imported from Germany.

they say average per person use of electric pre ecar is 0.75kw per day
family of 2 children is about 2kwh a day

Household electricity consumption in Switzerland is 4500kwh a year, that's 13 kWh a day, so you're off by almost an order of magnitude.
The average car personal ar distance driven is 40km a day, so for the most efficient Tesla, it will be 4.5 kwh.

So, as usual, you're completely wrong about everything.
