The role of European emissions targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Analysts say European emissions targets are forcing manufacturers to bring more affordable electric cars to market. In previous years, when targets were less stringent, many manufacturers focused primarily on larger, more expensive electric models with higher margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between 2020 and 2024, the average price of electric cars in the EU even increased by around \u20ac5,000, despite battery and production costs gradually decreasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucien Mathieu<\/strong> from T&E emphasizes that the current targets are already delivering concrete results: \u201cEuropean CO\u2082 targets are actually making electric cars cheaper. If we don\u2019t lower the 2030 targets, buying an electric vehicle will soon be cheaper than buying a petrol car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The analysis also shows that manufacturers representing around half of the European market have already achieved their emissions targets for the period 2025-2027 \u2013 two years ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Renault and Volkswagen are currently slightly behind, but are also expected to reach their targets by 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the analysis, electric cars have already reached price parity with internal combustion vehicles in the larger segments D and E. In the smaller segments A, B and C, this could happen by 2030 if savings in production are passed on to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But this scenario is not guaranteed. The European Commission is considering relaxing the 2030 targets, which would give manufacturers more room to maneuver in meeting emissions requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the 2030 targets are weakened, the transition to electric vehicles could slow significantly. According to T&E estimates, this could mean that electric cars would account for around 47% of % sales in 2030 instead of the expected 57% %. In the event of even greater relaxation of requirements, the share could even fall to around 32% %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to analysts, such a development would slow down the electrification of the European automotive market and weaken the EU's competitiveness in the global race for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Current trends show that electric cars in Europe are gradually becoming affordable for a wider range of buyers. However, the speed of this transition will largely depend on political decisions in Brussels \u2013 in particular whether emissions targets remain ambitious enough to continue to incentivise manufacturers to develop affordable electric models.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Po ve\u010d letih rasti so se cene elektri\u010dnih avtomobilov v Evropski uniji za\u010dele zni\u017eevati.
