Transport & Mobility Leuven (TML) has published the second edition of its quarterly key performance indicators (KPIs), offering an updated snapshot of the EU’s transition to zero-emission cars and vans.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Q2 2025 report introduces two key improvements: an expanded total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis for vans and refined metrics to better assess the resilience and readiness of Europe\u2019s electricity grid. These additions provide policymakers and industry leaders with more detailed insights into the enablers and barriers of a successful transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the key findings, the report emphasises that Europe\u2019s energy and charging infrastructure continues to lag behind the pace of electrification. Grid congestion and infrastructure unable to accommodate new and digitalised technologies, slow renewable deployment hindered by permitting issues and investments, and uneven infrastructure coverage, particularly between urban and rural areas, remain key obstacles. National targets often overlook these regional gaps, limiting effective access and slowing progress in several countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite some positive developments on expanding battery production capacity and growing public charging infrastructure, the gains remain uneven and insufficient to offset the structural barriers still in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure sufficient progress, the report highlights the need for targeted investment, regulatory flexibility, and ongoing KPI monitoring to ensure the EU remains on track to meet its 2035 climate targets for new passenger cars and vans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
