Summary

Electrification is the clearest way to cut energy demand, increase Europe’s competitiveness and lower energy prices. The European Commission’ electrification plan puts direct electrification of transport and other sectors front and centre. Increasing EV sales — cars, vans, buses and trucks as well as ships and planes — are a clear indicator that direct electrification will be the main tool to reduce fossil fuel imports and reduce the emissions of road transport. But electrification will also have a role in the shipping and aviation sector.
