T&E's yearly car CO2 report shows that as European EV sales are stagnating as China and other competitors gain a foothold in the market

With little regulatory incentive for carmakers to scale up electric vehicle production over the coming decade, policymakers risk putting the brakes on Europe’s e-mobility boom. Weak targets in the 2020s not only threaten the achievement of EU countries’ climate goals, but also put at risk European industrial competitiveness, leaving the door open for Chinese carmakers to capture the mass market for BEVs.
