Oilbert at his finest again 🤡
There could be 100s of reasons why they chose not to publish it. What if the quality was not good for example?
According to them, it’s not because it’s “inconvenient facts” – but in some sense even more ridiculous:
Because they feared the criticism of those who don’t want to hear the facts.
If the reason they gave for not publishing it is true, they basically admitted that they have preemptively subjected their communication to the loud idiocies of the anti-scientific mob. Better not name facts, otherwise the conspiracy-crazies and those who hate facts will start to make a scene again.
It’s not impossible. We saw similar thing during the Covid era, where they also quickly started to adapt their communication away from the facts in order to not upset the conspiracy & Trychler mob too much.
So not telling the scientific truth because the mob could see this as “elitist” sadly seems to be a thing in our governement.
(Alternative explanation: It’s just the usual Ölbert Rösti things. For an oil lobbyist known for abusing his office, it’s to be expected that he works against electric vehicles.)
For anyone too lazy:
In 2022, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (BFE) commissioned the research firm Infras to study when switching from a petrol or diesel car to an electric vehicle (EV) makes climate sense. The result, published in late 2024, was clear: replacing an internal combustion engine vehicle with a new EV leads to CO₂ savings in over 90% of cases—unless the old car is barely used.
Despite this, the BFE decided not to release the CHF 118,000 report, fearing public backlash. Internal communications show that officials were concerned it might be misinterpreted or seen as elitist—especially at a time when the public’s trust in government was fragile. Some even worried right-wing media could frame it as political indoctrination. Communications chief Yvonne Gilliand called the findings “too academic,” while energy expert Romain Sacchi (from the Paul Scherrer Institute) and representatives from the Touring Club Switzerland strongly supported the report’s conclusions.
GLP National Councillor Jürg Grossen and Martin Winder of the Swiss Transport Club criticized the suppression of climate-relevant data. Although Albert Rösti, the SVP minister in charge, wasn’t directly involved in the decision, the incident sparked concern about political interference and a lack of transparency.
Eventually, under legal pressure from the media outlet Republik and the WAV collective, the study was released—but the episode highlights an alarming case of bureaucratic self-censorship in the face of public debate.
is it what everyone knew already: that e-cars arent saving anyone‘s a**es?
Withholding is a bit of a strong word, when the article says this:
»Die Antwort kam im Herbst 2024 und fiel eindeutig aus: Ein Elektroauto zu kaufen, lohne sich aus klimapolitischer Sicht praktisch immer. Die Studie, die der Republik vorliegt, stellt fest: Bei über 90 Prozent der sich aktuell im Verkehr befindenden Benzin- oder Dieselautos würde der sofortige Ersatz durch ein neues, gleich grosses E-Auto CO₂-Einsparungen ergeben – ausser man fährt das Auto fast nie.«
And the study is even linked:

Suppressing the results would be a more fitting title.
didnt know this, thats disgusting. if a study is paid for by the public with tax money then it should be published, full stop
Cherry picking facts in the most innovative country in the world, sounds like a good joke
