Switzerland could limit the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the event of a power shortage this winter, as part of a new four-step plan to prevent blackouts and blackouts.
To ensure energy security this winter, Switzerland could become the first country to limit the driving and use of EVs, German daily Der Spiegel reports, citing multiple media outlets on Switzerland's four-step action plan to avoid power outages.
Driving EVs could be banned in Switzerland, except for "absolutely necessary journeys", according to the third stage of the energy saving plans. The country is also planning for a stricter speed limit on highways in the recently proposed action plan, which has yet to be adopted.
Switzerland generally imports electricity from France and Germany to meet all of its electricity needs, but this year the supply from its neighbors is limited.
