Ngokwemininingwane ye-European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), sekudayiswe izimoto zikagesi ezingaba ngu-559,700 emazweni angama-30 ase-Europe kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya ku-Ephreli, 2023, okuwukunyuka ngamaphesenti angama-37 unyaka nonyaka. Uma kuqhathaniswa, ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikaphethiloli ngesikhathi esifanayo bekungamayunithi angama-550,400 kuphela, kwehle ngo-0.5% unyaka nonyaka.
I-Europe ibe yisifunda sokuqala ukusungula izinjini zikaphethiloli, kanti izwekazi lase-Europe, eliphethwe amazwe aseNtshonalanga ye-Europe, belilokhu liyizwe elijabulisayo lokudayiswa kwezimoto zikaphethiloli, okuyisibalo esinzima kakhulu kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezimoto ezithengiswayo. Manje kulo mhlaba, ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi kuzuze okuphambene.
Akukhona okokuqala izimoto zikagesi zithola uphethiloli e-Europe. Ngokusho kwe-Financial Times, ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi e-Europe kwadlula amamodeli kaphethiloli okokuqala ngqa ngoDisemba 2021, njengoba abashayeli bevame ukukhetha izimoto zikagesi ezixhaswe ngaphezu kukaphethiloli ogcwele amahlazo okukhipha umoya. Idatha yemakethe ehlinzekwe abahlaziyi ngaleso sikhathi yabonisa ukuthi ngaphezu kwengxenye yesihlanu yezimoto ezintsha ezithengiswa ezimakethe ze-18 zaseYurophu, kuhlanganise ne-UK, zazixhaswe ngokuphelele ngamabhethri, kuyilapho izimoto zikaphethiloli, kuhlanganise nama-fuel hybrids, zibalwa ngaphansi kwe-19% yokuthengiswa okuphelele.
Ukudayiswa kwezimoto zikaphethiloli kwehla kancane kancane kusukela kwavezwa kwaVolkswagen ukuthi bakopela ukuhlolwa kwegesi ezimotweni zikaphethiloli eziyizigidi eziyi-11 ngo-2015. Ngaleso sikhathi, izinhlobo zikaphethiloli zazingaphezu kwengxenye yezimoto ezilethwe emazweni ayi-18 aseYurophu ahlolwa.
Ukuphoxeka kwabathengi ngeVolkswagen bekungesona isici esibalulekile esibe nomthelela emakethe yezimoto, futhi ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikaphethiloli kuqhubekile nokugcina inzuzo enkulu kunezimoto zikagesi eminyakeni elandelayo. Muva nje ngo-2019, ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi eYurophu bekungamayunithi angama-360,200 kuphela, okubalwa kuphela ingxenye eyodwa kweshumi nantathu yokuthengiswa kwezimoto zikaphethiloli.
Kodwa-ke, ngo-2022, izimoto zikaphethiloli ezifika ku-1,637,800 pcs zathengiswa eYurophu futhi kwathengiswa ama-pcs angu-1,577,100 ezimoto zikagesi, futhi igebe phakathi kwalaba ababili liye lehla lafinyelela ezimotweni ezingaba ngu-60,000.
Ukuphindaphindeka ekuthengisweni kwezimoto zikagesi kudalwe kakhulu yimithetho ye-European Union yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kanye noxhaso lukahulumeni lwezimoto zikagesi emazweni ase-Europe. I-European Union isimemezele ukuvalwa kokudayiswa kwezimoto ezintsha ezinenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi esebenzisa uphethiloli noma uphethiloli kusukela ngo-2035 ngaphandle uma zisebenzisa "ama-e-fuels" angangeni kwemvelo.
Uphethiloli we-elekthronikhi waziwa nangokuthi uphethiloli wokwenziwa, uphethiloli we-carbon neutral, izinto zokusetshenziswa ziyi-hydrogen ne-carbon dioxide kuphela. Nakuba lophethiloli ukhiqiza ukungcola okuncane ohlelweni lokukhiqiza nokukhipha umoya kunophethiloli kanye nophethiloli, izindleko zokukhiqiza ziphezulu, futhi zidinga ukwesekwa okukhulu kwamandla avuselelekayo, futhi ukuthuthukiswa kuhamba kancane esikhathini esifushane.
Ingcindezi yemithetho eqinile iphoqe abakhiqizi bezimoto e-Europe ukuthi badayise izimoto ezikhipha umoya omncane, kanti izinqubomgomo zoxhaso kanye nemithethonqubo ibilokhu isheshisa ukukhetha kwabathengi izimoto zikagesi.
Singalindela ukukhula okuphezulu noma okuqhumayo ezimotweni zikagesi maduze nje e-EU. Njengoba yonke imoto kagesi idinga ukushajwa ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa, ukukhula okuphezulu noma ukuqhuma kwamashaja e-EV noma iziteshi zokushaja nakho kungalindelwa.
