#ElectricVehicle market data for February 2025 looks great 🚘 💪 📈, and yet @ec.europa.eu President Ursula von der Leyen is about to give in on exaggerated lobby claims and to weaken the 2025 #CO2standards. For more details see our #MarketMonitor: lnkd.in/dSZ7mN79 (March edition out in about 2 weeks)

"If things go bad for #Tesla and they don't sell enough cars this year, they might not have enough credits for what they promised Stellantis and the others, Tesla is under pressure." #ICCT's @petermock.bsky.social speaking to #Politico's @jordyndahl.bsky.social. www.politico.eu/article/tesl...

Today, the European Commission proposed relaxing 2025 CO₂ emissions targets for car manufacturers. This risks delaying Europe's transition to electric vehicles and harming the competitiveness of its automotive industry, says ICCT Europe Director @petermock.bsky.social.

📊 Our European #MarketMonitor for cars is out! #EVs In January, battery electric cars’ share of the market was 16%, 1% point down from the previous month. This is an increase of roughly 5% points over January 2024. 👉 theicct.org/publication/european-market-monitor-cars-vans-jan-2025-feb25

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) in reality consume about 4 times more fuel than advertised. Data for >1 million vehicles, collected and published by the @eea.europa.eu shows that instead of ~1.5 liters/100km, PHEVs consume more like 6 liters. lnkd.in/drSysjNk

⚡ Electric cars in Germany are likely to become more affordable in 2025 🚗  “2024 was a transitional year: CO₂ targets for automakers remained at 2021 levels, with no additional incentive to increase EV sales beyond what was necessary,” explains @petermock.bsky.social, ICCT Europe Director. 

How can cities tackle #AirPollution? 🏙️💨 Well-planned Clean Air Zones (#CAZs) can help improve air quality and public health by reducing vehicle emissions. Check out this practical guidance to help policymakers design and implement effective CAZs. ⬇️

A 'phase-in', as suggested by ACEA, would primarily benefit the German manufacturers, less so Stellantis and Renault Group. It would weaken the EU #CO2standards for new cars by about 8 g/km in 2025. Cumulatively, these higher emissions would add up in the following years.

January 2025 #ElectricVehicle and #HybridVehicle uptake for the biggest European markets looks good. In about a week, our 'Market Monitor' will provide the details for all countries and manufacturers. In the meantime, take a look at the latest edition, with the full data for 2024: lnkd.in/dgV5k-iY

Having worked in the field for more than 20 years, it is now already the 3rd time that I witness carmakers exaggerating compliance costs ahead of a next stage of the EU's #CO2standards for new vehicles.

Renault CEO Luca de Meo publicly confirmed that the company will be able to meet the EU new car #CO2standards in 2025, in an interview earlier this week. He is not the first CEO to do so, as earlier statements from BMW and Stellantnis show. OEMs have a number of compliance options: lnkd.in/dCttHZ8C

Kicking off the thematic workshops, I had a constructive meeting with representatives of the automotive sector. We exchanged on infrastructure and how to stimulate demand for electric vehicles.

During yesterday's meeting with Commissioners @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu & Jessika Roswall, one re-occuring theme was the recommendation not to modify existing regulation on new vehicle #CO2standards, to ensure planning & investment security and to strengthen consumers‘ trust in electric vehicles.

Today I'm in Brussels, as part of @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's Strategic Dialogue on the auto-industry. Re-assuring to see #ElectricVehicle shares rise quickly, e.g. in DE w. 50% increase in Jan25 (vs. Jan24). Good basis for discussing how demand side & infrastructure measures can further support.

2025 CO2 targets getting further in reach: #Mercedes forms pool with Volvo and Polestar, now requiring only max. 4%p battery-EV share increase throughout 2025. Same for the new #Stellantis pool w. Tesla. Read our @theicct.bsky.social report for more compliance options: theicct.org/publication/...

Data on 2024 new car registrations for #Germany is out: - 13.5% #battery-electric vehicles - 6.8% #plug-in hybrids This is less than the 18.4% BEV in 2023 (sudden stop of purchase subsidies). But for 2025, an increase to >20% is likely (next round of EU CO2 targets). theicct.org/pr-pkw-zulas...
