BYD launches low-cost 'Dolphin Surf' electric car in Europe
China's BYD introduced its low-cost electric ' Dolphin Surf ' car, its tenth model on offer in Europe, in Berlin on Wednesday, as sales across the region pick up speed after a strategic revamp. The car will sell at three price points, from 22,990 euros ($26,100.55) for a 322-kilometre range, to 24,990 euros for a 507-kilometre range. Until the end of June, the three versions will be available at a discounted price of 19,990-24,990 euros, sales chief Patrick Schulz announced on Wednesday. The car piles pressure on Europe's carmakers to offer more affordable electric alternatives, with cost still a major barrier to wider adoption of electric cars . While only a handful of models, such as the Dacia Spring or Leapmotor's T03, exist in Europe for under 20,000 euros, 11 new models priced under 25,000 euros will go on sale on the continent this year including Volkswagen's ID.2, the Renault R5, the Fiat Grand Panda, and the Hyundai Inster. "The compact segment is the next frontier for electrification in Europe," Maria Grazia Davino, regional managing director for markets including Germany, said in Berlin. "We think this market has huge potential."

EU to gift weaker climate targets to car industry in return for no commitments
The EU Commission will weaken the 2025 CO2 target for carmakers by allowing them to comply over three years instead of one, President Ursula von der Leyen said today. The measure, which still needs to be passed by EU governments and MEPs, is an unprecedented gift to Europe's car industry in the middle of a compliance year. The Commission said it would propose to stretch the compliance window for the 2025 target up until 2027. If implemented, this flexibility would allow carmakers to sell fewer clean cars in 2025 in exchange for selling more clean models in 2026-27. This would delay the scale-up of EV production in Europe and remove pressure on the industry to roll out cheaper EV models in 2025. William Todts, executive director of T&E and participant in the EU Automotive Dialogue, said: 'Weakening the EU clean car rules rewards laggards and does little for Europe's car industry except to leave it further behind China on electric vehicles. The EU risks creating very damaging uncertainty about the electric vehicle transition in Europe. So, we expect an automotive action plan that restores confidence and puts Europe and its industry back on track towards 100% emission-free cars in 2035.' The current 2025 CO2 target is well within the reach of European carmakers which have until the end of the year to comply. By changing the compliance window to three years, car manufacturers will be under less pressure to supply more affordable models such as the Renault R5 and Citroën eC3, both of which were timed to help meet the 2025 target.
