Set against the EU’s 2035 zero-emission target for all new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, the Q3 KPIs show steady overall progress, but with persistent regional disparities that risk creating a two-speed transition across the continent.

The quarterly update continues to focus on four key areas:

• Electricity grid – is Europe’s network becoming smart and flexible enough to meet rising electric vehicle (EV) charging needs?
• Consumer perspective – are EVs becoming more available and affordable for European drivers?
• Charging infrastructure – is the network keeping pace with demand?
• Manufacturing – are energy costs and supply chains supporting competitiveness?

Regular KPI monitoring remains essential to track progress and address gaps as Europe advances toward its zero-emission goals.
