Significant public messaging from the government on EVs has yet to lead to either promised breakthroughs in battery technology or significant sales outside of public fleets. Combined, EVs and hybrids could reach 15% of aggregate new-car sales in the four major markets—Europe, North America, China, and Japan—in 2020.

Such standards are effective in overcoming barriers to the introduction of more efficient vehicles and fuels, while creating regulatory certainty for product developers and manufacturers. This should include carbon and energy taxing, for example, as proposed in the amendment of the Energy Tax Directive.
