Europe’s electric‑vehicle rollout is gaining momentum on the surface, but a new ACE A report warns that deep‑seated obstacles still hinder a full transition. The study highlights that registrations of EVs have surged across the continent, driven by stricter emissions standards, expanding charging infrastructure and generous subsidies. Yet the analysis points to uneven progress among member states, persistent supply‑chain bottlenecks, high battery costs and a shortage of skilled workers as structural issues that could slow momentum. Policymakers and manufacturers are urged to coordinate tighter regulatory frameworks, invest in domestic battery production and accelerate workforce training if Europe is to meet its climate targets and secure a competitive edge in the global auto market.
