Excessive enthusiasm with EVs were the spell of death for german auto manufacturers.

Then, the absurdly stupid sanctions on Russian Oil and Gas, coupled with the irrealistic and inconsequential energy transition and other absurdly emotionally charged decisions like phasing out nuclear power.

Germany industrial competitivity depended a lot on cheap Russian energy that could only be realistically replaced with Nuclear Energy.

Blaming volkswagen demise on incidental stuff like their issues with software is something that only someone as ignorant of the real world as a journalist from The Economist could do.
