🇪🇺 Europe’s battery electric car registrations spiked to a 29% market share in August. 🚗⚡ #ICCTMarketMonitor These sales represent an increase of 5 percentage points from the previous month. The two largest markets, Germany (33%) and France (38%), drove most of the growth with record shares.

The European Commission has proposed letting carmakers count the emissions savings of certain renewable fuels toward their 2035 CO₂ targets. This is not without risks: it could effectively weaken targets, keep combustion cars on the roads, and raise fuel prices. ⚠️⬇️ theicct.org/publication/...

🚨NEW: Electric cars are 33% cheaper to drive than gasoline in Europe, while electric trucks are approaching cost parity with diesel. Our second EV Transition Check✅ finds that, as battery costs decrease and fuel prices remain high, EVs are becoming the most cost-effective vehicle choice in Europe.
