Max stupid: EU may loosen EV rules for third time in two years, aiding China

Europe seems determined to ensure its auto industry is unable to compete against China and is giving it all the rope it needs to hang itself.

During multiple historic fuel crises and a climate crisis that left tens of thousands dead across Europe this summer, the bloc is reportedly close to striking a deal to allow its automakers to produce more of the vehicles that directly caused each of those problems.

In doing so, it would only ensure that its automakers are unprepared to compete against the country that actually is providing solutions to those problems: China.

Here’s an idea: make ICE cars more expensive and use it to fund local electric car sales to compete against BYD.
