After Toyota, Bosch is also expressing his perplexity towards one electrical transition of the mobility that is happening at a too rapid pace. And it does so through its Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Franz Fehrenbach, who lashes out against the EU for the strategies adopted in this direction. “The EU is implementing policies that involve a preference not adequately justified for 100% electric cars, promoted to the disadvantage of the internal combustion engine and, above all, to the detriment of the climate “, pointed out in an interview with Stuttgart news.
Fehrenbach’s attack does not directly concern electric cars themselves, but rather the pace at which the European Union wants to accelerate their imposition. Rhythms that, according to Bosch’s number one, are not sustainable at the moment: “Electric they are not climatically neutral, but despite this they are treated as vehicles with zero CO2 emissions, because the legislator hides the energy balance necessary to generate electricity “. Agreement between Fehrenbach and Akio Toyoda on the issue linked to the problem of energy sources, with the former tending to underline the issue linked to emissions for the production of batteries. “In Asia a very high share of electricity still comes from coal-fired power plants ”, highlighted Bosch’s number one, as reported by Daily fact.
Last, but not least, the problem related to charging infrastructure, a question raised by many experts for some time. At the moment, according to Fehrenbach, the charging column system, especially in Europe and Germany (Bosch’s motherland), is still not up to the pace with which the electric car sector is expected to grow. “If we really wanted to have a million charging points by 2030, we should install 2,000 every week. In reality today there are 200 and we are talking about Germany alone “, concluded the Chairman of the supervisory board of the German giant.
