Wayback archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20230312112812/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11494991/Switzerland-BAN-electric-cars-roads-power-shortages.html
Switzerland will ban the use of electric cars for ‘non-essential’ journeys if the country runs out of energy this winter, the government has announced.
I’m sure they have the same plans in place if there is a gasoline shortage, and this will have been prompted by a methane shortage due to sanctions on Russia. Hardly grounds for a hit piece on electric cars.

That makes it sound like it’s not a fat at all, which is… interesting.
EDIT: Not just a fat, anyway, in light of this passage:
