NEW: Europe will have enough battery cells for all EU-made EVs under the scope of the IAA, despite industry claims that local content rules are too ambitious. A European battery value chain won't build itself. We need demand-side rules for local components to secure jobs and economic resilience.

New data from @eea.europa.eu shows PHEVs emit on average SIX times what official tests claim: 145g CO2/km vs. 24g CO2/km. And the gap is widening each year. This comes as the car lobby is demanding that the EU scrap rules that would better reflect PHEV pollution. Our analysis: bit.ly/4yq1d7t

In seven EU countries, aviation’s climate impact – considering both CO2 and non-CO2 effects – is now higher than cars. The growth in aviation emissions threatens to cancel out gains made elsewhere by EV uptake and jeopardise Europe’s successes. Check out the state of EU aviation ➡️ bit.ly/4bNNbD0

Europe is behind China in the EV race, but the industry narrative that we must weaken the EU car CO2 targets to compete is fundamentally wrong. The targets are what keep Europe in the race to be global leaders in battery electric cars. Now is the time to power up! Our report 👉 bit.ly/4yjPFDg

Electric cars produced in China accounted for 17% of the EU BEV market in the first quarter of 2026, down from a peak of 22% in 2024 when tariffs were introduced. However, while Western carmakers shifted production from China to Europe, the imports of EVs by Chinese brands continued to grow. 2/

Cars are growing bigger every year, creating an increasingly dangerous environment for road users. If this trend continues, an additional 2,500 adults and 79 children could die on Europe’s roads by 2040, compared to a scenario where new car sizes return to 2015 levels. New report ➡️ bit.ly/3SRno6P

European cities are set to lose up to 14% of their on-street parking by 2040 due to growing car size. Our new report with @cleancitiescampaign.org shows how ‘right-sizing’ policies to get new cars back to 2015 levels could reverse this trend. Check it out ➡️ bit.ly/3SRno6P

⚡In early April, an average petrol car cost €13.30/100km to fuel in the EU vs €11.60/100km in 2025. That's a 'crisis premium' of €1.70/100km. ⛽The average cost of charging an EV at home was around €6.20/100km vs €5.80/100km in 2025. That's a 'crisis premium' of €0.35/100 km for EV drivers.

High oil prices are leading governments to scramble to get hold of biofuel feedstocks. This is a dangerous game. Food prices are already high, and vegetable oil prices have reached their highest level since July 2022. Governments around the world must avoid trading a fuel crisis for a food crisis.

Ryanair was once again the most polluting airline in 2025 as European aviation emissions reached an all-time high. But due to significant loopholes in the EU carbon market, legacy carriers paid for just a fraction of their pollution compared to short-haul airlines. Our analysis 👉 bit.ly/3RnHpRK

Our new analysis shows that this potential cut to EV targets would see local battery offtake dwindle. Potential battery production capacity could shrink by more than two-thirds in 2030 – equivalent to losing 34 potential Northvolt-sized factories and up to 47,000 jobs. 2/

183

T&E @transportenvironment.org · 12/05/2026

NEW: 34 Northvolt-sized battery factories could be lost if the EU scales back EV targets. Europe risks forfeiting a major industrial opportunity. Scaling back the EU car CO2 rules in line with the industry’s demands could see electric car production halved in 2030 compared to today’s projections. 🧵

Some air passengers are paying for the carbon emitting during their flight… while others are not. How is that fair? It’s time to extend the ETS to ALL flights departing from Europe, and finally make all flights fund a greener future. Check out our latest analysis 👉 bit.ly/3RnHpRK

As soon as a plane leaves the European Economic Area (EEA), the EU effectively loses the ability to apply carbon pricing to that flights’ emissions. CORSIA is meant to instead offset this pollution, but it is a much weaker scheme than Europe’s carbon market. 4/

143

T&E @transportenvironment.org · 08/05/2026

Structural flaws in the EU’s carbon market mean that only intra-EEA short-haul routes pay for their pollution. This leaves legacy airlines’ long-haul flights – the most polluting kind – outside of its scope. Airlines avoided over €8.5 bn in emissions costs in 2025 alone due to these loopholes. 3/
