The Renault boss demands: Repeal the petrol ban

No one knows exactly what the future looks like. Nor for the electric car. And now Renault's chief executive, Luca de Meo, acknowledges that the car type's future is uncertain.

Renault's managing director Luca de Meo is probably not as sure about the electric car's future as he probably has been.

Like its chief colleagues at the competitors, the French car brand is now also wavering in its faith in electric cars. So now de Meo emphasizes that there is a 'need for flexibility in the schedule'. In other words, the plan that will ultimately phase out petrol and diesel cars as early as 2035. At least within the EU.

That's what Automotive News writes.

Despite his wavering, the Renault director believes that it will be a 'serious strategic mistake' to lose faith in electric cars simply because sales are currently declining.

Renault is also not tampering with the objectives that it must be a CO2-neutral company in Europe by 2040 at the latest and globally just ten years later.

At home, the French brand currently has two electric cars on the market. But if Renault is to meet its ambitions, it requires the entire model range to be electric by 2035 at the latest. And not just in Denmark.

But the sale to motorists has not yet taken place, de Meo acknowledges. Thus, the French director, who is actually Italian, has reached the same conclusion as, among other things, Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes and Ford.

Namely, that motorists find it difficult to buy electric cars at the pace that the car brands had imagined just a few years ago. For a fifth car brand, drivers' reluctance towards electric cars means a complete change of strategy. Read more about it here .
