The big rethink has just started.
The Brussels elites have more problems than just worrying about saving the planet from Global warming/cooling by promoting windmills and EV's. Belgium/ Brussels is now being overrun by vast quantities of drugs being imported by Super drug cartels who are shipping in $$ billions worth of drugs. As people lose their jobs due to the EU power crisis they become desperate and turn to drugs.
"Record amounts of cocaine are being seized in Europe. Its availability on the continent has never been higher, with extremely high purity and low prices."

Its the start of the great reset and rethink.

The high price tag and rising cost of ownership of EVs may encourage consumers to reconsider ICE vehicles

According to the energy think tank Ember, Germany’s electricity prices in August 2022 were, on average, 460% higher year-over-year. In 2021, 55% of Germany’s natural gas imports came from Russia, although this had dropped to 26% by June 2022, according to the World Economic Forum.
Rising electricity prices in 2022 have diminished the notion of cheaper running costs for EVs compared with ICE vehicles, as residential and commercial EV charging rates have surged. The EV charging operator Allego raised charging tariff rates in most European countries in September 2022 and has announced a further rise in October 2022. For example, in France, a kWh price for an ultra-fast charging unit (>50kW) will reach EUR0.98, up from EUR0.79.
