Europe faces political pushback against rapid EV adoption. Consumer doubts grow alongside inadequate charging infrastructure. The US and India now scramble to protect automotive jobs while pursuing emissions targets.
Europe Retreats Amid Pushback
Leaders dial back aggressive EV mandates due to industry pressures. Political resistance mounts as automakers warn of factory closures. Consumer hesitancy further dampens demand for battery vehicles.
China Races Ahead Globally
China maintains its dominance in EV production and sales. Export surges offset slower domestic growth elsewhere. This gap forces Western markets to rethink transition timelines.
Implications for Jobs and Climate
Slower EV growth risks mass layoffs in traditional auto sectors. Climate goals face delays without balanced policies. India must invest in infrastructure to avoid falling behind.
