“We have to act immediately. Until May, about 45,000 sales [of electrified cars] were registered, which is far from the pace needed to reach the 280,000 units in 2024 required by the emission reduction targets. There is a wide supply of models, but without demand it is a fiction,” Anfac CEO Jose Lopez-Tafall lamented yesterday, based on these results.

Improved charging infrastructure is more than identified as one of the levers needed. In fact, what we experienced this Easter with traffic jams to recharge electric cars on the A3 raised a ruckus against the technology, although it only affected one brand (Tesla) and some overly dogmatic users.

REMEMBER, CLUE.

For its part, the fact that help to buy is necessary ( these are still more expensive models) is evidenced by the failure in Germany , where they have been removed; and the joy of sales in France, where they are even offered in social rentals for the poor. Although this does not mirror Portugal, where the aid is also linked to taxes for companies.
