As a result of the ongoing energy crisis throughout Europe, Switzerland is considering a ban on the use of electric cars for non-essential purposes.
Owners of Teslas, Volts, and other electric cars in Switzerland may soon find themselves taking the bus, with the country reportedly considering a partial ban on using EVs as part of a host of measures aimed at saving electricity.
Like a whole host of other European nations, Switzerland’s energy situation is being significantly stressed as a result of Russia largely pulling out of Europe’s energy market, with the country seeming particularly concerned about its supply of electricity.
As a result, according to a report by Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten, the country’s government has drawn up a raft of emergency measures aimed at reducing strain on the power grid for use in emergency scenarios.
While measures such as limiting the total speed of cars, reducing the opening hours of shops as well as the amount of heating permitted at nightclubs are also planned, included in the government’s power saving scheme is a ban on the use of electric cars for non-essential purposes.
“The private use of electric cars is only permitted for absolutely necessary journeys (e.g. professional practice, shopping, visiting the doctor, attending religious events, attending court appointments),” a government readout on the restriction is reported as reading.

A glimpse into the get. The electric cars are about control. If you willingly rely on these for your daily driver…. This is exactly what we have been discussing. The globalists agenda is moving out of conspiracy into daily living.
Waaaaaaait! The space heater in the bathroom just tripped a breaker.
A glimpse of the future.
Ping.
Bwahaha!
Ping.
From virtue signalling to selfishness. That was quick! LOL!
Suckers
I agree 100%. And my wife and I enjoy our EV (and also like our ICE truck). Stuff like this is why we have cars of two different energy types so that if the left messes up one energy source we can rely on the other car. It's also why have lots of solar power -- so much that 85% of the power for our all electric home comes from our solar, including charging the EV (for local driving, obviously the solar doesn't help if we decide to take the EV on a road trip).
For us, the EV and solar aren't about supporting the warmageddon cult. It's about diversification (not having all of our eggs in one oil basket) and about being making our family as close to energy independent as we can so that the left has to work harder to control us.
Impressive vert.
Am I a bad person for savoring a bit of schadenfreude reading this story?
The dawning....electricity doesn’t come from a kite and a key.
Step one eliminate ICE cars.
There is no step 2 because now you have control over the population’s mobility. We are 5-10 years away from the completion of step 1.
O/T, I apparently made an impression with my introductory speech at my company’s internal Christmas party yesterday (employees only). It was brief, directed my remarks to the younger employees: “It doesn’t get any better than this!”
Been here two months, the place is run by adults, truly a team environment.
Wait a second, the usual suspects aren’t chiming in, telling anyone that doesn’t bow to the altar of EVs is an uneducated rube.
Something is amiss.
Swiss are smarter than the average Euroweenie.................
For the woke, fascist deep state - Green Energy is just like Ukraine-Russia
they will pay any cost to push their agenda through. Failure could mean their collapse. So they will die on that hill - or rather, they will have many others die, but you get the point.
