It's the selfishness of some customers still wanting polluting large engines for their personal vehicles that causes the pickle and creates the "need" to balance out polluting vehicles with low and zero emissions ones.

Of course it isn't zero it is a fleet AVERAGE. My point was not that at all it was that the legislators are forcing the OEM's to go to electric to reduce the fleet average and not as most people seem to think doing it of their own volition. If they don't do it the fines would break the biggest car maker in the world. Most of the world think VW are doing this to hide the diesel scandal but that is not so, they are literally being forced into it or commit business suicide.
How would you like to tow a caravan with 900cc?
