#ElectricVehicle market data for Q1/2025 looks good 🚘⚡️ March values are out now.

See also our @theicct.org #MarketMonitor: theicct.org/publication/... (the April edition will be out in about two weeks)

The difference between 'try hard' and 'take it easy'? 🧐 - The 3-year #averaging of automaker CO2 emissions, as proposed by the European Commission today.

This amendment will likely lead to 5-7 g/km higher #emissions in 2025. ‼️

#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)

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.

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

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.

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).
