Electric cars are “passing each other” with combustion cars. The date has been set for the breakthrough

According to analyzes by EY and Eurelectric experts, in Europe, by 2030, the sales of electric cars will exceed the sales of other vehicles. According to experts, there will be as many as 75 million zero-emission cars on the road by then.

Electric cars in the world. The forecast two years ago was lower

Just two years ago, experts’ forecast assumed that the number of electricians in 2030 would amount to 65 million. Then, battery prices unexpectedly went up, but then they dropped. Additionally, analysts took into account issues such as ecology, driving comfort and more common charging infrastructure. Jarosław Wajer, EY partner, emphasizes in an interview with , that electric cars are becoming an increasingly attractive option for consumers, which in turn leads to a “dynamic increase in their sales.” In addition, in his opinion, there are “lower maintenance and operating costs” because the price of energy in many markets is more favorable than the price of fuel. He also highlights that many companies are switching to zero-emission fleets to meet their sustainability commitments. – Technological progress related to shorter charging times is also important, which increases the convenience of use – says the expert.

Will there be a trade war between the EU and China with electric cars in the background?

EY specialists note that in all markets where electric cars have appeared, a gradual increase in their number is observed. Currently, global sales of electric vehicles account for 16%. selling all cars. Last year, over 14.1 million new electric vehicles appeared on the roads. Thus, their total number has already exceeded 40 million vehicles. At the same time, it must be recalled that . The European Commission is considering imposing additional duties on electric cars from the Middle Kingdom. They would be as high as 38 percent. Brussels says state subsidies for Chinese electric vehicles are illegal and harm market competition and European manufacturers. China, in turn, threatened to take action to protect its interests if the European Commission decides on tariffs.
