A new survey also provides for the European Union to save 40 to 45 billion euros a year in oil imports with the automotive fleet electrification.
A new study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) data association concludes that 100% electric vehicles already They are the most economical option relegating plug-in hybrids and electric with autonomy extensor to mere transition technologies.
According to the study, a European family can save up to 1600 euros a year When choosing a pure electric instead of a plug-in hybrid. In three quarters of the case, electric is the most advantageous choice in financial terms. Also on the environmental level, the difference is significant: 100% electric emit in the life cycle three times less CO2 than a combustion car and even nine times less in countries like France, where energy production is cleaner.
Market data confirm the trend. In the first half of 2025, sales of electricity It grew 24% compared to the previous year. Projections point out that by 2035 between 90% and 100% of new records are of fully electric vehicles, provided that the European calendar is not changed.
The target of 2035 is registered with community CO2 emissions of light vehicles and is seen by the European Commission as crucial to achieving carbonic neutrality in 2050. Despite the pressures of the auto industry to make the rules flexible, the study reinforces that the accelerated transition will bring economic and strategic benefits. Fleet electrification could also reduce EU oil imports by 15%, representing an annual savings of 40 to 45 billion euros.
Charge France, which brings together 18 loading operators, including Atlantean, PowerDot, Ionity and Allego, argues that political decision makers should send clear signs to the market. Among the recommendations are reaffirming the target of 2035, reorient tax incentives to privilege electricsupport low-income families with incentives for the purchase of electric used, increasing the transparency of information to consumers and preparing the European industry with investments in recyclable batteries, local production and requalification of labor.
