In context · 2020s

Battery-electric cars stop being weird.

EV market share rose from 4% (2020) to 18% (2025) of new sales in Europe. Software-defined platforms (VW MEB, Stellantis STLA Medium, Hyundai E-GMP) replaced bespoke ICE architectures. Chinese OEMs entered Europe at scale: BYD, MG, Zeekr, Xpeng. The first €25k mass-market EVs arrived in 2024.
