From what I understand, carmakers have average emissions quota across their whole range (95g/km of CO by 2021).
Having electric vehicles in the range is a way to meet the quota even if they don't sell really well.
- moccachino 7y agoOh ok, I'd heard about the emissions quota, but I always thought it wasn't a simple average of the offered range, but was surely weighted by sales.
- yorwba 7y agoIt is weighted by number of new registrations: https://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/average-co2-emissions-from-new https://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/average-co2-emissions-f... If a car manufacturer actually makes and registers low-emission cars just to keep the average of their fleet down, there's not really a point in just having them sit around collecting dust, so they might as well sell them.
