In a joint interview with the Financial Times, Ola Källenius, head of European car industry body Acea and the chief executive of Mercedes-Benz, also warned that the European Commission would be making “a catastrophic mistake” if the automotive market shrank further as a result of forcing the industry to sell only EVs.
I’m really unsure why European cars don’t fly of the dealer lots. They have expensive red SUVs, expensive white SUVs, expensive grey SUVs, expensive black SUVs. What else could the customer want?
I’m currently the owner of a mid-price non-suv European car. They’re pretty common.
