The EU emission targets would require about 37% of cars sold to be EVs starting next year. That is nearly double the current level in a few months. Combined with low car sales mainly due to work from home being more populare since the pandemic and car makers have a decent challenge to solve. Also they can not just buy Chinese due to tarrifs.
Also the German government has already declined to work towards lowering those targets. It is the German car industry calling for it.
US driving is above pre-pandemic levels. It hasn’t done that in the EU?
