It&#x27;s one thing to trick the tests by 2x, maybe even 3x, if the tests are too strict for the real world. But not by 40x like VW did...And I believe they said only to gain a 10% performance boost. That&#x27;s just stupid on VW&#x27;s part.<p>Anyway, the emissions scandal + the rise of EVs, will finally make all manufacturers try and push as many EVs on the market by 2022, when the new Euro 7 standard is official. They will need to lower their &quot;fleet&#x27;s&quot; emissions, and the only effective way to do that is to push as many EVS into the market as possible.<p>So in the end these regulations served their purpose. I&#x27;m happy for it.
