Summary

European car manufacturers are gearing up for a significant shift towards battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to meet the EU’s stringent CO₂ targets by 2025. A report reveals that BEVs could account for 20-24% of the market share, with 60% of necessary CO₂ reductions coming from new models. While some companies lean on hybrids for compliance, this strategy may hinder long-term climate goals. The EU remains committed to existing targets, emphasizing the need for supportive policies to bolster EV adoption.

Highlights -⚡️

  • ⚡️ BEV Surge: Anticipated 20-24% market share for BEVs in 2025.
  • 🌍 CO₂ Reductions: BEVs expected to deliver 60% of required emissions cuts.
  • 💰 Affordability: Seven new electric models under €25,000 launching by 2025.
  • 🚗 Hybrid Dependence: Major carmakers still relying heavily on hybrids.
  • 🏛️ EU Commitment: No delays in CO₂ targets; focus on electrification.
  • 🔌 Support Needed: Calls for policies to enhance EV infrastructure and buyer incentives.
