My own view, is that China’s EV manufacturers should be included, if only in band 2, because without China’s polution, europe wouldn’t be breathing cleaner air from EV’s & solar!
That’s.. debatable.
Now, i don’t think the grant should be restricted the way it is (in fact i don’t think it should exist at all in this form), but china doesn’t pollute for us to be able to run EVs/solar. China polutes because they have quite a few people that require resources. In fact, they’re cleaner now than before the EV boom.
