Subject: This report analyses the potential deployment of a European electric market by 2020 in two parts: the environmental impact of the electrification of the transport sector and the energy policies recommended in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Through the elaboration of three scenarios, it demonstrates that the development of the electric vehicle could be a genuine opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions, if its commercial development is accompanied by a policy in favour of renewable energy.
