It's one thing to trick the tests by 2x, maybe even 3x, if the tests are too strict for the real world. But not by 40x like VW did...And I believe they said only to gain a 10% performance boost. That's just stupid on VW's part.
Anyway, the emissions scandal + the rise of EVs, will finally make all manufacturers try and push as many EVs on the market by 2022, when the new Euro 7 standard is official. They will need to lower their "fleet's" emissions, and the only effective way to do that is to push as many EVS into the market as possible.
So in the end these regulations served their purpose. I'm happy for it.
