By 2026, electric cars will be cheaper than combustion engines, the study predicts. Only climate-neutral electric vehicles and vehicles using e-fuels will be allowed to be registered in the EU from 2035.
Manufacturing costs for electric car batteries are falling. For vehicles with batteries or fuel cells, they remain almost identical. Consumption costs with e- Fuels will increase by 60 to 90 percent by 2045. The battery-electric variant will have lower overall costs over its service life from the middle of this decade.
