As we near the EU elections, the next European Commission must step on the pedal to accelerate EV uptake ambitions and relentlessly push for a greener future on our roads! The AVERE key recommendations emphasise prioritizing coherent industrial policies, ensuring legislative coherence, swift policy implementation, grid efficiency, accessible and affordable e-mobility, as well as strategic investments in battery technology. These recommendations urge decisive action to propel Europe towards a sustainable, efficient and competitive e-mobility landscape.
The future of e-mobility depends on the next European Commission’s enforcing established trajectories and creating an enabling framework. Now is the time to implement far-reaching electrification plans and remove blockers to the deployment of e-mobility. Previous investments in Europe have not only supported e-mobility but also catalyzed employment opportunities, underlining the transition’s positive socio-economic impact.
To be globally competitive, the EU must set up short- and midterm plans to financially support the battery materials and net zero technologies and industry we need, as is the case in other regions, to ensure sustainability, competitiveness and jobs.
