    They basically calculate the emissions targets wrong, as they include the emissions from producing the electricity for EVs. EU regulation however calls those zero, as the emissions are part of the electricity sector targets.

    Also a good number use EVs. I believe the Greens are pretty much fully EV by now or did not choose to have a car at all, which obviously only really works in city states.
