Why Switzerland wants to ban electric vehicles

[itsnotoutthere]

Switzerland is reportedly planning to ban electric vehicles in the country.

According to a report in The Telegraph, officials in the country have drafted a proposal that would restrict power usage to prevent blackouts and power cuts.

If this happens, Switzerland would become the first country to do so.
Switzerland is heavily dependent on hydropower to meet its energy requirements; about 60 percent of the country's power comes from hydropower. However, production slows down during the winter months. The country also imports electricity from neighbouring France and Germany, both of which are now facing an energy crisis like the rest of Europe due to the Ukraine war.
