EU battery-electric car market share hits 20.7%, exports still US/UK-led

Battery-electric vehicles reached a 20.7% share of EU car sales, a notable milestone in the bloc's EV transition. However, the sector body notes the US and UK still account for half of total EU car export value, underscoring continued reliance on external markets amid EV adoption. The data signals steady but uneven progress in Europe's automotive shift, with export dependence a key risk if trade tensions rise.
