Comparing zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) penetration between Canada and the US, #Canada continues to outpace its southern neighbor in Q2 2024. Over the past four quarters, the US has maintained an average ZEV penetration rate of 10%, while Canada proudly stands at 13%. #Quebec leads the charge, with ZEVs comprising 28.4% of new vehicle registrations in the province — 6.5 percentage points higher than British Columbia, the second highest. https://okt.to/O4ABYN #electricvehicles

Q224 ZEVs made up 12.9% of all new motor vehicle registrations in 🇨🇦(🆙 37.9% from the same period last year). 65,733 new ZEVs registered, >51% in Quebec, likely owing to big demand prior to incentive reductions. Great timing to discuss how we get to the next level at the Electric Mobility Canada EVVE conference in Halifax. https://lnkd.in/gAUcFyu6

As of 2023, there were 33.5 million cars on UK roads and an estimated 1.4 billion cars on road worldwide. These figures are only increasing, and don’t include vehicles such as HGVs and buses. The analysis of the data generated from these vehicles can provide a detailed insight into a driver’s behaviour on the road … Continue to read more on the emergence of #vehicledigitalforensics below 👇 #digitalforensics #digitalevidence #cellsite

Is the EV market really facing a crisis? According to several media articles, car OEMs and politicians, yes. Well, I don't think so. Already in June we at Transport & Environment (T&E) explained that this drop in EV sales in H1 2024 was not abnormal. How come? Carmakers need to meet binding CO2 targets as of 2025. In 2024 they'll first prioritise high-end petrol SUVs with high margins and only start ramping up EV sales by the end of 2024. We saw the same happening with the previous CO2 targets in the early 2020s. Magically we now see EV market in Germany picking up. The alignment between the current uptake (see ICCT) graph and our T&E projections from June (see comment), is striking. What does this mean for policymakers? Do not give in to attempts from Meloni and others to weaken CO2 targets for carmakers. Regulations create markets. When you set them well in advance and stick to them, industry will work towards them.
