Driving growth: EV Country Attractiveness Index findings

Since the previous iteration of the EVCA Index, published in June 2023, there have been some changes to the electric vehicle (EV) landscape. The EV market has continued to grow with battery electric vehicle (BEVs) sales increasing across Europe.

Cornwall Insight have partnered with law firm Shoosmiths to create the Electric Vehicle Country Attractiveness (EVCA) Index. This week, we published our EVCA Index which charts the relative attractiveness of major European nations for investment in EVs – with a particular focus on passenger cars – and EV charging infrastructure.
