A new T&E briefing sets out how targeted support can help middle and low-income households to access EVs.
This briefing argues that social leasing is an ideal measure to support the low and medium income drivers who will be most affected by the likely increase in fuel price linked to the EU emissions trading system (ETS2). In it, T&E recommends that EU member states incorporate social leasing in their national Social Climate Plans and finance them with their broader national ETS2 revenues.
EPP candidate Tzitzikostas drew a line under the EU electric cars debate, saying supporting industry – not weakening targets – is the way forward.
The fate of Europe’s biggest carmaker depends on how quickly it can switch to electric.
