Every year for the past 5 years, World EV Day has been an opportunity to step back and assess the role of electric vehicles in our lives. But beyond the event itself, a question arises: where do we really stand in Europe ?
A Global Movement Gaining Momentum
Every September 9th, World EV Day celebrates electric mobility.
The event, launched in 2020, has become a global gathering, bringing together manufacturers, energy companies, startups, local authorities, and drivers around a simple message: the future of mobility is electric.
This isn’t just symbolic: in 2025, nearly one in four cars sold worldwide is already electric. Europe, with its 2035 target, has positioned itself at the forefront… but the transition is happening today.
Why Switching to Electric Already Changes Everything
Electric mobility is often reduced to a regulatory deadline. Yet the benefits are concrete right now:
- Up to €1,600 in annual savings for a French household, according to a BCG x Charge France study.
- An immediate impact on emissions: in France, an electric car emits on average 2 times less CO₂ than a combustion vehicle (100 g/km vs 200 g/km) and up to -73% greenhouse gas emissions over the entire lifecycle in Europe.
- Direct health benefits: no NOₓ or CO emissions, and reduced fine particles thanks to regenerative braking, contributing to better air quality in cities.
- A smoother, quieter, and more comfortable driving experience.
In short, electric isn’t a constraint: it’s an economic and environmental opportunity.
No Electric Vehicle Without Reliable Charging
The real question is no longer “should we switch to electric?” but “how do we massively support drivers?”
And the answer is simple: through charging.
Without accessible, interoperable, and reliable charging stations, electric vehicles cannot deliver on their promises. This is why infrastructure development has become the cornerstone of this transition.
DRIVECO’s Role: Simplicity and Trust
This is precisely the challenge that DRIVECO addresses every day.
At DRIVECO, we have a strong conviction: electric should be as simple as turning on a light.
- A network of fast and ultra-fast charging stations, deployed across Europe.
- Recognized reliability, with availability rates among the highest in the market.
- Solutions designed for all drivers.
Our mission is clear: remove the last barriers to adoption and enable everyone to charge anywhere, without constraints.
A Message for the Future
World EV Day is a reminder: electric is not a distant promise. It’s an accelerating reality, an industrial opportunity for Europe, and a concrete victory for both drivers and the planet. At DRIVECO, we believe that the transition doesn’t need to wait until 2035: it’s being built every day, with every charge. The future isn’t decreed. It’s being charged today.
