I don't think that. Forever is a long time.

However, so far the "Energiewende" has been a total failure in terms of reducing CO2, despite Germany having a huge amount of renewables and extremely high electricity costs. If Germany had any obvious alternatives to coal, they would've long done something about it.

As it stands and into the foreseeable future, without technological breakthroughs, the idea that electric vehicles could significantly reduce CO2 emissions doesn't stand scrutiny.

They do: nuclear power. Already built, costs already paid, minimal extra costs to be incurred due to running it longer.

Nevertheless, Germany has already decided to exit nuclear altogether.
