Story summary
  • EU rules set CO2 at 49.5 g/km, implying a 60% EV sales target for 2030, which analysts deem unrealistic.
  • Q1 2026 EV sales rose 29.4% to about 560,000 units, reaching a 21.2% market share.
  • Forecasts put the 2030 EV share at 40%-46%, well below the 60% goal.
  • Analysts say 100-mile EVs need €10,000-€12,000 pricing, yet most cost €15,000-€20,000, with Leapmotor models priced at £15,995-£16,645 after tax.
