Across Europe, some countries are reducing fuel taxes to ease pressure on consumers and businesses.
Germany is taking a different approach, maintaining high fuel taxation — including CO₂ pricing — to accelerate the shift toward electric mobility.
A clear policy trade-off: immediate cost relief vs structural transition.

They in fact postpone the end of combustion vehicles. They kill renewables in favour of oil. Etc pp.
