Europe's battery electric car share hit 19% in January 2026, up 3 percentage points from Jan 2025. 📈
Germany🇩🇪 stood at 22% and France🇫🇷 at 28%, while Poland🇵🇱 tripled its share to 9%.
Fleet-average CO₂ emissions from January 2025-2026 stood at 97 g/km, 4 grams away from the 2025–2027 EU target 🎯

🚗 Our European car market monitor is now available.
In August, a month usually slow for car sales, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) reached an average 19% market share of new registrations across Europe.
That’s 2 percentage points higher than in July.

🚗⚡ A new edition of the European Car Market Monitor is out—this time with a global twist.
Emerging markets are quickly catching up with, and even surpassing, Europe's electric car market.

⚡ Our latest European Car Market Monitor is out!
📈 The average share of BEVs among new registrations in Europe rose to 17% in April, up 1 percentage point from March.
Combined with plug-in hybrids, the average rose to 26%, a 2 percentage point increase from March.

🇬🇧The UK government recently concluded a consultation on its flagship regulation to drive the transition to electric vehicles: the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate. The results are now public.⚡🚗
We’ve examined the details of the proposed outcomes: theicct.org/risks-of-the...
#ElectricVehicle market data for April just came out 🚘⚡️
🇩🇪 Germany overtook 🇨🇵 France, approaching 19% of battery-electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrids make up another 10% in Germany.

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. ‼️
See our @theicct.org explainer:
lnkd.in/dBk5qDFw
The @ec.europa.eu is expected to present a targeted amendment to revise the CO2 standards regulation for cars and vans.
This will introduce an averaging mechanism.
We’ve estimated the climate impact of this change: an additional 26-51 megatonnes of CO2 emissions.💨

🇬🇧 The UK continues to lead the market, with more than one third of all new vehicles being electric (BEV + PHEV), thanks to the UK's Zero-and-Low-Emission-Vehicle #ZLEVmandate setting a target of 28% for 2025.
🇮🇹 🇪🇦 In Italy and Spain, BEV shares remain at a lower level, but are much stronger than at the same time around in 2024 (+38% and +54%). #Hybrid-cars, another compliance option for manufacturers, are especially popular in Spain.
🇨🇵 In France, the #SocialLeasing program was introduced in Jan 2024 but ended already again in Feb 2024, due to overwhelming success. Comparing Jan/Feb 2025 to Jan/Feb 2024 data, it therefore seems as if the BEV share is slightly declining, but in reality, with 18% it is as strong as in Germany.
🇩🇪 In Germany, BEVs accounted for ~18% of new car registrations in Feb, going up from 15% in Dec and 17% in Jan. PHEVs made up another 10%.
#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.

"If things go bad for #Tesla and they don't sell enough cars this year, they might not have enough credits for what they promised Stellantis and the others, Tesla is under pressure." #ICCT's @petermock.bsky.social speaking to #Politico's @jordyndahl.bsky.social.

Today, the European Commission proposed relaxing 2025 CO₂ emissions targets for car manufacturers.
This risks delaying Europe's transition to electric vehicles and harming the competitiveness of its automotive industry, says ICCT Europe Director @petermock.bsky.social.

In January, battery electric cars’ share of the market was 16%, 1% point down from the previous month. This is an increase of roughly 5% points over January 2024.

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.

⚡ Electric cars in Germany are likely to become more affordable in 2025 🚗
“2024 was a transitional year: CO₂ targets for automakers remained at 2021 levels, with no additional incentive to increase EV sales beyond what was necessary,” explains @petermock.bsky.social, ICCT Europe Director.
How can cities tackle #AirPollution? 🏙️💨
Well-planned Clean Air Zones (#CAZs) can help improve air quality and public health by reducing vehicle emissions.
Check out this practical guidance to help policymakers design and implement effective CAZs. ⬇️
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
Kicking off the thematic workshops, I had a constructive meeting with representatives of the automotive sector.
We exchanged on infrastructure and how to stimulate demand for electric vehicles.
