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.

You seem to be taking away the wrong lesson here.
Obviously electric cars consume a lot of energy, and So if they have an energy crisis this winter they're trying to lower the amount of energy used, which includes electric vehicles. The electricity comes from various sources, fossil fuel and renewable. Its not like this says anything about fossil fuels vs renewables.
Oil is not safer to use in a crisis. They're just concerned about a crisis with electrical power, not with oil. If they were concerned about a crisis with oil and not electrical power, they'd be trying to limit people from driving gas cars during a crisis and encouraging EV during a crisis.
And obviously energy use has to do with economics. It also has to do with the environment since we're destroying it by using fossil fuels. But during an energy crisis you use whatever sources of energy you can get and limit the use of those that could be in short supply, and the worry here is that electricity will be low so they want people to use less electricity wherever they are able.
Don't try to turn this into some lame false political point. Trying to use less electricity during a possible energy crisis does nothing to reverse how bad fossil fuels are.
