The article from CleanTechnica discusses the rapid decline in battery prices and its significant impact on battery electric vehicle (BEV) pricing, particularly in Europe and China. Battery costs are expected to drop by about 70% over the next five years, with some Chinese manufacturers already experiencing lower prices now. This reduction will enable carmakers to lower BEV retail prices below those of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles within 2 to 4 years in Europe, and even sooner in China. The article highlights that European car prices are tightly controlled by manufacturers and importers, limiting discounts and keeping BEV prices relatively high to protect ICE sales. However, as battery prices fall, companies committed to phasing out ICE vehicles, like Volvo, are likely to reduce BEV prices to gain market share. The article also notes that improved battery density will allow larger battery capacities without increasing costs, addressing range anxiety and making electric subcompact and compact cars more practical and competitively priced. This shift could revive the popularity

The article from CleanTechnica discusses the ongoing debate about whether plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) should be included in electric vehicle (EV) sales reports alongside battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The author, Mike Shurtleff, argues in favor of including PHEVs as part of the broader EV category, viewing them as a transitional technology on the path to full BEV adoption. He cites Norway as a key example, where PHEV sales initially supported EV growth before BEVs eventually dominated as charging infrastructure and consumer acceptance improved. Shurtleff points out that in many countries, BEVs constitute the majority of EV sales, with PHEVs playing a supportive role, especially in areas where charging infrastructure is still developing. He notes exceptions like Brazil, where PHEVs currently outsell BEVs, but predicts this will shift as infrastructure expands. Drawing a historical analogy, he compares the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles with the early 20th-century shift from horses to

In July 2025, plugin electric vehicles (EVs) achieved a record market share of 98.2% in Norway, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) alone accounting for 97.2%, marking a significant increase from 94.3% combined EV share and 91.9% BEV share a year earlier. The total auto sales volume rose 48% year-on-year to 9,563 units, the highest July volume since 2021. This surge is attributed partly to new tax policies discouraging non-electric powertrains and a recent interest rate cut to 4.25%, which may further decrease. Conventional petrol-only vehicles now represent a mere 0.3% of new sales, underscoring Norway’s rapid transition to renewable electricity-powered transportation. The Tesla Model Y remained the best-selling vehicle in July with 715 units sold, followed by the Skoda Enyaq (586 units) and Volkswagen ID. Buzz (464 units). While July

The article discusses the impact of rising tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe, highlighting a surprising exemption for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) had primarily focused on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for the European market, with PHEVs as a secondary consideration. However, the success of the BYD Seal U PHEV suggests a strategic shift toward PHEVs, as tariffs have made BEVs less competitive compared to local European models. A detailed comparison of the best-selling Chinese BEVs (MG 4, BYD Seal, BYD Dolphin) against European competitors (VW ID.3 and ID.7) reveals that while Chinese models offer competitive range and pricing, European models often excel in DC fast charging speed and efficiency. For instance, the VW ID.3 is cheaper and charges almost twice as fast as the Chinese BEVs, while the VW ID.7 offers superior range and features despite a higher price than
