Since 2015, Europe has been specified annual CO2 emissions from cars should not exceed 130g / km. After 2021, this provision will continue to strictly average not exceed 95g / km. If more than car manufacturers will be fined.
Therefore, in the present case, if the car manufacturers do not change, no transformation, then it would have to pay a fine of hundreds of millions. And the European Union by 2030, but also on the reference standard in 2021 and then to reduce emissions 37.5 percent, a reduction of 59 g / km average carbon dioxide emissions. Although the high EU requirements, but the truth is that due to the large car and SUV sales is good, so the average carbon dioxide emissions last year, an increase of more.
Thus European car manufacturers in order to survive, it is necessary to work hard in pure electric vehicles, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
10 years, the European cumulative pure electric car 640 000
Although the European Union to promote the substantial reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, sales of electric vehicles is growing every day. In 2009, cumulative sales of battery electric vehicles in Europe is only 3620, almost no plug-in hybrid.
But decades, the world market and Europe have undergone tremendous changes. By 2019, cumulative sales of battery electric vehicles to 647,778, plug-in hybrid is 626,032.
In 2009, in Europe sold 295 electric cars, sold only two plug-in hybrid. 2019, sold 238,773 cell electric vehicles, sold 11,574 plug-in hybrid. Of which Germany is the sales of new energy vehicles power.
Germany is Europe’s largest new energy automobile State
According to the EU Alternative Fuels Institute (EAFO ) data, European electric vehicle (battery + plug-in hybrid) the largest number of countries are Germany, so far, a total of 265,979. Followed byUnited Kingdom (247,492), France (208,176), the Netherlands (173,438) and Sweden (10,5588 units). But only in 2019, the gap is even greater. Last year, electric cars newly registered in Germany is 9,4743 units, far more than the second largest in France (53,440 vehicles).
2019 electric car sales in Europe top five countries
First: Germany (94,474 units)
Second: France (53,440 vehicles)
[ 123] third: Netherlands (45,399 units)
fourth: United Kingdom (33,633 units)

However, , on the proportion of electric vehicles and all new cars by 2019, the Netherlands ranked first with 10%, 9% in second place with Sweden, Finland was third with 6%. (Predominantly in the Norwegian electric car is not included in the European Union.) However, in 2018 the total number of sales of electric vehicles in Germany is 6,6279 vehicles, electric vehicles and the German market is rapidly forming, an increase in one year 30%.
Germany has become second only to China, the world’s third-largest US electric car development of the country [123 ] Germany for the development of electric vehicles is more perfect start with the infrastructure and regulations to start pushing. Rapid development of charging infrastructure, are trying to play a role in reducing the burden on consumers.
the German market prospects are very bright electric vehicles, Volkswagen’s electric car ID.3 is a very representative models. German car borrowed CAM data analysis company, reported that Germany has become the world’s third-largest electric car development of the country. And China, the United States also has maintained rapid development.
In addition, the German media are urging the federal government to develop policies to activate the battery-powered and hydrogen-powered vehicles. The government is also moving forward with plans to rapidly increase the number of hydrogen charging station about 50. German electric car market is likely to develop in the form of a wide range of battery-powered electric vehicles and hydrogen electric vehicles.

Zoe Renault and Nissan Leaf electric car sales in the European market is also very good. In addition, the BMW i3, the electric version of the Volkswagen Golf and Tesla Model S is also far ahead of the market.

Although due to quality problems, Tesla is the focus of controversy, but in the European market, Tesla has established its leadership in the electric vehicle market. And Tesla has begun to identify suitable land, ready to build production plants in Germany, this will be Tesla after the Shanghai factory, the world’s second overseas factory.
Tesla is a small company, but the European market is relatively traditional and conservative. But Tesla or in Europe torn a hole, if successfully produced in Europe, so Tesla in this population will reach 500 million size of the European market, the success of sales.
Of course, Tesla will be very nervous, compared to the Chinese market, Tesla competition in the European market is more intense, not only is the public Renault, these brands. Even BBA also actively promote the development of pure electric vehicles. So in the future, Tesla and the major European manufacturers to compete in terms of pure electric vehicles will be put on a good show of what? We’ll see.
