Recent scientific evidence on climate change has caused communities to urgently consider alternative ways to reduce our carbon emissions. The European Environment Agency estimates that automobiles alone account for 14% of the EU's total CO₂ emissions. The role of electric vehicles in the European transport sector has offered a vast opportunity for industry growth. However, the introduction of these low carbon technologies requires continued support from the European Commission through policy development, regulation of trade, standardisation, investment as well as research and development funding.

  Head of International Transport Relations Unit & Trans-European Transport Network Policy, European Commission
