I know complaining about the source is gauche but the Daily Mail should probably just be banned from HN. The actual draft "ban" on electric cars is a restriction on essential travel and is still only a proposal in case of massive electric shortages - the language translated;
> Shop opening hours must be reduced by 1-2 hours per day. Each store format can determine the time slot independently. If a company decides to close certain branches completely or to only open the shop on certain days, the number of closed hours will count towards the reduction in shop opening times for the entire branch network.
> Outside opening times, freezers must be covered with Styrofoam panels or night curtains.
> The commercial use of tumble dryers, irons and mangles is permitted for a maximum of eight hours per day. The use for institutions in the health care system such as hospitals, birth centers, medical practices as well as old people's and nursing homes is not restricted.
> If the heat in rooms is mainly generated by electrical energy (such as electric heaters and heat pumps), these rooms may be heated to a maximum of 18°C. This does not apply to rooms that are used for the treatment of patients in healthcare institutions such as hospitals, birth centers, medical practices, and old people’s and nursing homes.
> The operation of whirlpools, body tanning devices, saunas, infrared cabins, steam baths, massage chairs and other electrically operated wellness facilities in the commercial sector is permitted for a maximum of seven hours per day.
> The private use of electric cars is only permitted for absolutely necessary journeys (e.g. professional practice, shopping, visiting the doctor, attending religious events, attending court hearings).

- daureg 4y agoI'm curious about this one > Streaming services must limit the resolution of their streaming offers to Standard Definition (SD). Assuming the content has already been encoded in both HD and SD, how much of a difference does it make in terms of electric consumption to transmit it in HD vs SD, on say 1/ a desktop at home and 2/ a phone in the street?
