Summary
The European Commission’s green push hits a snag as officials struggle with EV range anxiety on long trips between Brussels and Strasbourg, forcing charging stops that turn five-hour drives into longer nightmares. With 80% of their fleet already electric and a 2027 zero-emission goal looming, commissioners are stuck waiting at service stations—some even opting to drive slower or ditching EVs entirely for vans. President von der Leyen rides free thanks to armored car shortages, while the Commission prepares a new electrification plan that may finally tackle these real-world headaches.
