- European new vehicle registrations rose 1.7% year-on-year, with EVs claiming a growing share of sales
- Revived subsidy programs in Germany, France, and other key markets provided direct purchase stimulus
- Sub-€30,000 EVs from Renault, Volkswagen, Citroën, and Chinese brands are filling the mass-market gap
- EU CO2 fleet average targets create a regulatory backstop that structurally drives EV sales regardless of consumer demand fluctuations
