There is a new "Policy Brief" by the @kielinstitute, authored by Prof. Dr. Dr. Ulrich Schmidt, Professor in national economy in Kiel.

It concludes that a transition to #emobility will not lead to less C02 emissions, but 73% more compared to Diesel cars. That is wrong (Thread). Schmidts reasoning in short: #Emobility leads to a later phaseout of coal, as the renewable energy will be used for driving and not for reduction of fossil energy. Therefore BEVs are running on 100% coal, as they alone are responsible. 100% coal means 300g/km CO2. (2/x)
