The criteria aren&#x27;t wrong: I want to save money on my car.<p>Diesel fuel is cheaper, by a lot. Diesel cars drive further than a petrol car (I get about 3.7l&#x2F;100km). A diesel car produces less CO2, which makes it cheaper to lease (14% instead of 20%-25% for added tax).<p>If the government taxes the diesel car equally to a petrol car, then people will pick the cheapest.<p>Just get a cheap decent EV out there with similar properties of a fuel car, and people will pick that. And cheap is in the range of 20000-25000eu, not 60000eu like a Tesla.<p>Fuel is already taxed heavily here (just compare Europe fuel prices to US fuel prices).<p>And I don&#x27;t know what a DPF is, how it works, or that my car has it. I shouldn&#x27;t have to care about all the hundreds of components in my car. I have enought things to worry about already.<p>If the startup time is 15 minutes for that filter and that is too long, maybe there should be some force applied to reduce this startup time to say 5 minutes.
