Ukraine (bbabo.net), - This winter, Switzerland may experience a shortage of electricity. The main suppliers, France and Germany, may not be able to provide the necessary capacity, as they experience problems with their own generation. In this situation, the Swiss will be required to lower the washing temperature and abandon electric vehicles.

“The draft of the Swiss Confederation of November 23, entitled “Regulation on restrictions and prohibitions on the use of electrical energy”, provides for decisive measures that can be taken within four stages in the event of a shortage of electricity,” writes the German edition of Focus. For example, washing machines will be allowed to be used only at a mode of no more than 40 degrees Celsius, and refrigerators - at least 6 degrees.

In addition, the free life of owners of electric vehicles will end. “The draft says: “Private use of electric vehicles is only allowed for absolutely necessary trips (for example, professional practice, shopping, doctor visits, attending religious events, attending court hearings),” the German publication explains. According to him, the restrictions will hit about 110 thousand car owners.

“And, of course, (this) will be absolutely fatal to the politically accelerated e-mobility ramp-up in Switzerland: who will buy an electric car if he has to reckon with the fact that he is not allowed to drive it at any time, especially in winter? Although the plan assures that driving bans should only take place from the third of four "escalation stages". However, the Swiss should probably buy an electric car, if at all, only as a second,” notes Focus.
