Electric vehicles Europe situation will have to be on high alert as Switzerland may be forced to limit the use of electric vehicles if the electric supply shortages happen in winter. This is under a new four-pronged plan for preventing blackouts and power cuts.
For maintaining energy security in the Winter months, Switzerland may be the first country which limits driving and using the electric vehicles.
Driving an electric vehicle might be banned in Switzerland unless the journey is an absolutely necessary one in the third stage of the power conservation plan. The country is also going to plan a stricter limit of speed on the highways in the action plan which is proposed recently but hasn’t been adopted yet. Typically, Switzerland imports its electricity from both Germany and France for meeting its demands for power but the supply is constrained this year from their neighbors.

The nuclear fleet available to France is a lot lower than it was and that has led to this country becoming an importer of electricity after many years of calling itself a net exporter.
French Electricity grid will be at a risk higher than any of the previous years for strained power supplies in the month of January. France may also be facing a risk of power cuts in the winter and the electricity supply might not be enough to meet all demands.
The situation is also similar in Germany as the utilities are now having to make up for the loss that they have faced due to the disruptions from Russian pipelines.
Power supply is still uncertain in Switzerland and the trouble with electric capacity not being there might not be ruled out.
This may be a big impacting factor and one which the electric vehicles Europe association would have to take seriously for the growth of the electric vehicles.
