ACEA study finds cost still strong deterrent for EV uptake across Europe; calls for “realistic” targets recognizing affordability

Green Car Congress

JULY 2, 2018

A new study by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) finds that the affordability of electric cars remains a strong deterrent for customers across the EU, along with lack of infrastructure and lack of investment in infrastructure. To put this in context, pure battery-electric cars accounted for just 0.7% by 2025 and 5.4%
