Overview
- Transport & Environment reports a €1,800 year-over-year drop from 2024, reversing a €5,000 rise recorded between 2020 and 2024.
- The decline is driven by new entry-level segment-B city cars such as the Citroën e-C3 and Renault 5, with prices in that segment down 13%.
- T&E says purchase-price parity with combustion models was reached in 2024 for larger D and E segments.
- The European Commission proposes replacing the 2035 all-electric sales rule with a 90% CO2 fleet-reduction target allowing 10% compensation, prompting calls from T&E to keep rules tight.
- Industry lobbying intensifies as ACEA seeks to stretch the 2030 objective over five years, while T&E says many carmakers already meet 2025–2027 targets and notes Renault and Volkswagen are currently behind.
