Reading the article, ban is only proposed during energy crisis where personal transportation will also be severely curtailed. This is just Swiss level thinking ahead about something that could go very wrong, they aren’t proposing to ban EVs during the winter like the HN title above says.
"The European Union jumped on the electric vehicle craze well ahead of other parts of the world, particularly after the Paris climate accord. But in typical socialist fashion, they weren’t content with simply encouraging people to switch to EVs."
"Edward Morrissey (born April 3, 1963) is an American conservative blogger, columnist, motivational speaker, and talk show host.[1] He goes by the nickname Captain Ed and he lives in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.[2] He wrote his original blog, "Captain's Quarters", from October 2003 to February 2008. He now works full-time as a blogger for Hot Air.[1][3] and writes a column for The Week. He also participates in Bloggingheads.tv[4]"
In an energy crisis, where for example people can't heat their homes, it doesn't seem to be surprising or inappropriate that there might be a need for restrictions.
It's ironic that there might be a restriction during an energy crisis against using an EV which is more energy efficient.

That doesn't change the big picture though.
