Subject : This study compares and puts into perspective the responses of 4,000 people surveyed across Europe, the United States, China and Japan with regard to the purchasing of a clean car (electric or hybrid) over the coming years. This means that a figure can be put on the future market for electric cars and has also let those factors that could dissuade people from purchasing, such as charging infrastructures and battery range, be highlighted.

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.
