“To go from 10% market share for EVs to 100% in twelve years is very complicated,” Luca de Meo explained to the European press.
Europe’s objective of banning the sale of hot cars completely by 2035 will be “complex” to take, said the head of Renault Luca de Meo, in an interview with Échos to be published on Monday, calling for “ease in the calendar”.
“To go from 10% market share for EVs (electric vehicles, Editor’s note) to 100% in twelve years is very complicated”explains Luca de Meo to Échos and three titles in the European press. “We need a little more flexibility in the schedule”he added, remembering that when the decision to ban the sale of hot electronics by 2035 was taken. “The position of France and of the Renault Group is rather to say that 2035 is too early and we should instead aim for 2040.”. “We are not yet on the right track to achieve 100% 100% electric cars in 2035. (…) However, we must not use the current reductions in the market to completely abandon the cause .It would be a major strategic mistake.also underlined the boss of Renault.
Luca de Meo remembers that it was the car industry “invest tens of billions of euros in change” to electronic means and is useless “Throw them out the windows”. Moreover “we must not deny progress” etc “electricity in cars is part of progress”he insisted. “The question is of rhythm”explained Luca de Meo, who demonstrated that “Most countries have not exceeded 7% market share in electricity to date”. “The ecosystem must move forward together, all together. This is what I’m talking about when I ask for flexibility and agility”he explained.

In February, Luca de Meo had already ruled that a reversal on the ban on petrol and diesel cars in 2035 would be acceptable but complicated. “I hope that the ban will take place soon, because I think we will not be able to do it without damaging every industry and every European car value chain.”he said at the Geneva motor show.
Finally for the boss of Renault, “the electric car is one of the solutions” to decarbonize the car sector. For him it will be “It makes more sense to speed up the renovation of the park at the same time” and that “See what we can do in terms of fuel types”. “In the next decade, electric cars will not be enough to have a real decarbonization effect. (…) In roulette, you can’t bet everything on one color “it ends.
