sorry I meant for 2020 they expect 200.000 E-cars in Austria!

haha, you only understood half of it.

the article says, that 2050 there will be approximately 5M (Million) E-cars in Austria, nearly 75% of the then expected 7M cars overall!

furtheron it says that today, there are 436 E-cars. For 2010 they expect ~ 200.000, for 2025 ~700.000 and for 2030 ~1.600.000 E-cars. Which is still less than half of the current >4M cars … so lets see, how other european countries will do ;-)

at least it looks like an interesint and open bet until long from now *haha*

EuroVis definitly, VCBM if Steffen accepts our Poster ;-)

cheers

haha I’m not so sure… so the article says 2050 for there to be *only* electric cars. My bet said that in 2030 there would be *more* alternative propulsion cars on the road than fossil fuel. :)

Yes, we need more bets and more debating. VCBM or EuroVis, or BOTH?

If these bets come true, this post will go down into the annals of blogging history. If they don’t, we can still drink beer to celebrate. Cheers to that!

Who’d like to bet on planetary colonisation, gaming interfaces, books vs. e-paper and the ultimate degradation of civilisation through reality-TV?

@Gustav!!! Great to see you here!

Thank you for supporting me in my beer-drinking endeavours. I’ll see you in the VirtuaDROS as soon as that’s possible.
