The sales grew significantly over 5 years, likely due to the introduction of purchase subsidy.

The package includes a proposal to revise the CO₂ standards for cars and vans, Europe’s key policy to accelerate EV uptake.
But the plans to weaken the 2035 zero-emission target risk slowing Europe’s #EV momentum.
