🚗#Cars will get more expensive. Thanks for nothing EU 🇪🇺
Welcome to the future of driving, where cars are evolving beyond mere transportation, becoming symbols of deeper social divides. #Bitcoin ers, get ready—Europe’s new CO₂ emission standards are about to redefine the automotive landscape and impact your wallet.
Why Cars Are Getting Pricier
Starting in 2025, the European Union will enforce stricter COâ‚‚ emission standards for new cars and vans. This is part of an idiotic plan to reduce carbon emissions and push towards zero-emission vehicles by 2035. However, this "green revolution" doesn't come cheap.
EU's COâ‚‚ Regulations in a Nutshell
The EU targets a 55% reduction in CO₂ emissions from new cars compared to 2021 levels, with a 100% reduction target by 2035. If a car manufacturer's fleet exceeds the set CO₂ emission targets, they face a hefty penalty of €95 for each gram per kilometre that exceeds the target, multiplied by the number of new vehicles registered. This system began in 2021, and the stakes are only getting higher as we approach 2025.
What Does This Mean for Car Prices?
Despite intentions to shield consumers from penalties, the reality is that manufacturers will pass these costs on to buyers. Unlike the EU commissions, we actually understand Human Action.
Case Study: The Toyota Prius
Suppose the 2025 COâ‚‚ target for a manufacturer's fleet is set at around 50 g/km. If a Toyota Prius emits 90 g/km, it would exceed the target by 40 g/km. The penalty would be calculated as follows:
Penalty = 40 g/km × €95/g/km = €3,800 👀
If the Prius continues to emit at its current rate, the penalties could inflate its cost significantly.
Now imagine the impact on vehicles with worse COâ‚‚ emissions. This scenario illustrates how emission standards will drive up costs, disproportionately affecting families who can't afford expensive electric vehicles.
