Hybrid, Electric, Hydrogen… way too expensive

For over a month now I have been looking for a new car. I focussed on full electric and hybrid cars. This because of the fact that the Belgian government is punishing diesel and gas car driver with higher taxes and all sorts of other measures. But now I have made the mathematics completely and it would be completely nuts to buy an electric or hybrid car. At least here in Belgium. They are at least 20 to 25k EUR more expensive than their diesel brothers. It is impossible to compensate that with less taxes over the course of 4 or 5 years. Which is the lifespan of a car for me in my profession.

So, call me climate fucker, which is highly unlikely with the recent Diesel engines, but I won’t care. I am not stupid, and I have a good feeling diesel prices will drop significantly in the future because of lower demand… So diesel it is! And yes, I like nature, but money doesn’t grow on my back either!

Sincerely,
