疫情期间欧洲电动汽车市场份额将增至三倍

据路透社10月13日布鲁塞尔报道，根据非政府组织运输与环境（T&E）的分析显示，2020年上半年，电动汽车占欧洲汽车销量的8%，使其今年的市场份额有望翻三番。

虽然新型冠状病毒大流行使汽车整体销量大幅下滑，但电动汽车（T&E将其定义为电池和插电式混合动力车型）的销量却有所增长。

T&E称，与去年上半年相比，电动汽车在欧洲经济区（EEA）的市场份额增加了三倍多。

它表示，预计今年这类汽车的全部销量将有望翻番，达到100万辆。

T&E将销量增长归功于今年生效的更严格的欧盟汽车排放标准，以及德国和法国在流行病后的购买激励措施。

该非政府组织预计汽车制造商将达到2020年的排放标准，2020年电动汽车和插电式混合动力汽车的市场份额将增加三倍，达到欧洲经济区汽车销量的10%。

"这是因为欧盟的排放标准，但这也要归功于汽车制造商去年所做的许多投资，"报告合著者Julia Poliscanova说。

欧洲汽车制造商协会(ACEA)表示，电动汽车的销量受到国家支持计划的推动，以促进经济从COVID-19疫情中复苏，但这种趋势不一定是长期的。

"很难对这种由补贴驱动的'人为'增长对未来消费者行为的长期转变做出任何预测，"ACEA表示。

T&E敦促欧盟制定更严格的未来排放目标，以确保电动汽车逐渐淘汰污染型汽车。

耗油量大的SUV在2020年上半年也将其市场份额提高到39％。

欧盟委员会已经概述了进一步收紧汽车二氧化碳限制的计划，作为其更严格的2030年欧盟气候目标提案的一部分。

ACEA表示，决策者需要加强充电基础设施和计划，使零排放汽车的价格可承受，然后再考虑采用更严格的二氧化碳标准。

Electric cars to triple market share in Europe amid COVID-19, researchers say

Electric vehicles made up 8 per cent of car sales in Europe in the first half of 2020, putting them on track to triple their market share this year, according to analysis by the NGO Transport & Environment (T&E).

While the novel coronavirus pandemic has seen overall car sales plummet, sales of electric cars - which T&E defined as both battery and plug-in hybrid models - have increased.

This saw electric cars more than triple their market share in the European Economic Area (EEA), compared with the first half of last year, T&E said.

Outright sales of such vehicles are expected to roughly double this year, to one million units, it said.

T&E attributed the sales increase to tougher European Union car emissions standards, which took effect this year, and post-pandemic purchase incentives in Germany and France.

The NGO expects carmakers to meet the 2020 emissions standards, which would see electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles triple their market share in 2020 to 10% of EEA car sales.

"It is because of the EU emissions standards, but it is also thanks to many investments carmakers made last year," report co-author Julia Poliscanova said.

The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) said electric vehicle sales have been boosted by national support schemes to foster economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic but that this trend was not necessarily a long-term one.

"It is difficult to make any predictions on future long-term shifts in consumer behaviour from such 'artificial' growth driven by subsidies," ACEA said.

T&E urged the EU to set tougher future emissions targets to ensure electric vehicles keep edging out polluting models.

Fuel-guzzling SUVs also increased their market share, to 39%, in the first half of 2020.

The European Commission has already outlined plans to further tighten car CO2 limits as part of its proposal for a tougher 2030 EU climate goal.

ACEA said policymakers needed to strengthen charging infrastructure and schemes to make zero-emissions vehicles affordable before considering tighter CO2 standards.
