Europeans are switching to EVs faster than anywhere else in the world. Only 36% of new car sales are gasoline or diesel cars so far in Europe in 2025. (www.arenaev.com)

You want EV sales to take off elsewhere? Stop subsidizing gasoline. Most of Europe pays $7.50 a gallon.

But of course, the UK plans to charge EV users a tax of 3 cents per mile to make up for lost fuel taxes, yet no rebates for subsidies to oil and gas companies.
