Following the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy the EU aims to cut transport greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050. Rapid take-up of zero-emission vehicles will play a key role in achieving this ambition, and battery-electric vehicles are a mature mass-market technology now. However, vehicle take-up and maturity of markets differs considerably among Member States,...
