The decline in electric automobile sales led to controversy that the EU should strengthen its steps in global competition. According to ACEA’s report, unlike China and the United States, the EU does not have a strong industrial strategy to support electric vehicle production.

China maintains its strong position in global electric vehicle production and sales. The country’s superiority in the electric vehicle supply chain makes it difficult to increase Europe’s power in the electric car sector.
