From my own personal, admittedly anecdotal experience, this rings very true. Second-hand EVs - even with 200.000 km mileage - are on sale for more than EUR 10.000. Checking 2nd hand car sites debunks leasing companies claims about poor residual value. Good that @transportenvironment.org dug deeper!

NEW ANALYSIS: Chinese & US truckmakers are set to gain over a quarter of the European electric truck market by 2030 – unless the EU maintains the ambition of the truck CO2 standards. Key findings 🧵👇

The graph shows monthly sales of new passenger cars in China from 2012 to 2026, with the lines manually extended to 2030: a downward trend for ICE and plug-in hybrid vehicles, falling to zero.

At an undetermined point in the future, the Commission intends to establish requirements that align uni- + bidirectional charging capabilities with relevant grid codes and communication protocols, as is already required for charging infrastructure. single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/publications...
As battery electric vehicle's technology is evolving at a fast pace and the penetration of electric vehicles on the market is increasing, interoperability between vehicles, the charging infrastructure and the electricity grid is becoming increasingly critical. A harmonised approach to interoperability - at EU level - is essential to avoid fragmentation of certain technical requirements which are currently being developed outside of the vehicle type-approval framework, notably as regards the implementation of the revised Network Codes DDC 2.0 - Regulation (EU) 2016/138819 and RfG 2.0 Regulation (EU) 2016/6312°). Therefore, to ensure battery electric vehicles' harmonised capabilities and enable interoperable vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, these vehicles will need to meet certain technical requirements. For these reasons an empowerment to the Commission should be established within the Regulation (EU) 2018/85821

👇Interesting thread. No doubt the car industry is facing headwinds, but ICE phase-out is not the problem. Actually, stimulating demand for 'made in EU' EVs is one of the few avenues to support this industry.
