Einen Kühlschrank mit Energieklasse B vorzeitig zu entsorgen und durch ein Gerät mit Energieklasse A zu ersetzen, dürfte im Regelfall schädlich sein, weil die höhere Effizienz des A-Geräts den Produktionsaufwand bestenfalls in Jahrzehnten einspielen kann, wobei zweifelhaft ist, das das Gerät so lange lebt. Beim <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Verbrenner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Verbrenner</a> gegen <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/elektroauto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elektroauto</a> kann davon allerdings keine Rede sein. Der Verbrenner benötigt bei vergleichbaren Fahrzeugen mindestens 3 mal so viel Energie was langfristig jeglichen reduzierte Produktionsaufwand aufwiegt. Von daher ist die Elektrifizierung des Autos alternativlos.Hier ein Extrembeispiel: Der monströse elektrische Hummer braucht immer noch weniger Fahrenergie als der Smart.
