According to a piece in Auto Express online on 10 Dec 20, “Car makers warn electric car plans are far removed from reality“.
They said that “European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association calculates if EU targets of 30 million EVs by 2030 are to be met, their numbers must rise by almost 5,000%”!
Auto Express reported that “To meet the target, set for just nine years in the future, that those 615,000 EVs rise in number to 30 million, the ACEA highlights that close to a 50-fold increase in numbers would be required. That’s equivalent to a 4,778 per cent rise in the number of electric cars on the road.”
And that “The ACEA also warns that it considers a further three million public chargepoints will be required by 2030 to reach these goals from the 200,000 points that existed in 2019. That means a 15-fold increase is needed to bridge the gap.”
It seems the piece highlights what we are probably all scratching our heads about, and wondering who is going to have to pay for all this?!
