ACEA Developed an Interactive “Tracker”
The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has developed a new interactive tool called the “Tracker,” designed to monitor and map progress in electrification and the transition to zero-emission mobility.
Regularly updated with new data, this Tracker will allow policymakers, journalists, industry experts, and stakeholders in the automotive sector to access the latest information on key indicators (such as new registrations, infrastructure, vehicles currently on the road, and charging prices) and vehicle segments, in order to accurately follow the evolution of the transition.
“The shift to zero-emission mobility is clearly not accelerating as fast as expected when ambitious targets were first set in a very different political context. Vehicle manufacturers are playing their part by delivering a wide range of zero-emission vehicles, but we cannot face this challenge alone,” stated Sigrid de Vries, Director General of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA). “We developed this tool to provide an accurate and reliable picture of electrification and zero-emission deployment in Europe, and to support decision-making that reflects the current stark realities of the transition.”

Key Data:
The market share of battery electric cars saw its first decline in 2024, dropping from 14.6% to 13.6% – a decrease of nearly 6% in units sold.
8.8 million chargers for cars and vans are needed to meet the 2030 target, but there are currently only about 880,000 in the EU – a tenfold increase is needed within five years.
On average, there is one public charger for every five battery electric cars in the EU, and this ratio increases significantly when plug-in hybrids and vans are included.
The market share of medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission trucks stands at 3.5%, far from the ~35% required within just five years to meet the 2030 CO₂ targets.
Currently, only a few hundred public truck-suitable chargers are available in the EU. To meet the 2030 CO₂ emission targets, around 35,000 such chargers will be needed, along with approximately 2,000 hydrogen refueling stations (each with a capacity of at least two tonnes per day). This translates to at least 500 new chargers being installed on average each month.
