It is not a smooth drive for EVs in Europe
European car giants are contending with a perfect storm of challenges on the path to full electrification, including a lack of affordable models, a slower-than-anticipated rollout of charging points and the potential impact of European tariffs on EVs made in China.
Volvo Cars has already abandoned its heavily promoted plan to sell only EVs by 2030, citing a need to be "pragmatic and flexible" amid changing market conditions. It now aims for between 90% and 100% of its car sales to be fully electric or plug-in hybrid models by 2030.
Volkswagen and several other carmakers, including Ford and Mercedes-Benz Group, have all announced plans to delay earlier targets to phase out sales of internal combustion engines vehicles in Europe.

What are you willing to struggle for?
Happiness requires struggle. The positive is the side effect of handling the negative. You can only avoid negative experiences for so long before they come roaring back to life.
At the core of all human behaviour, our needs are more or less similar. Positive experience is easy to handle. It’s a negative experience that we all, by definition, struggle with.
What determines your success isn’t “What do you want to enjoy?” The question is, “What pain do you want to sustain?” The quality of your life is not determined by the quality of your positive experiences, but the quality of your negative experiences. And to get good at dealing with negative experiences is to get good at dealing with life.
We want the reward and not the struggle. We want the result and not the process. We are in love not with the fight, but only with the victory.

Thought of the Week
"Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, "What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now."
Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope."
~ Vincent van Gogh
