Abstract: In this paper, the authors undertook an analysis of the likelihood that EU Member States will meet the commitments made by the European Parliament in adopting the »Fit for 55« strategy, which sets the target of making all new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles zero-emission by 2035. The analysis itself was based on the data obtained on the increase in the share of passenger plug in electric vehicles (PEVs) from individual EU countries over the last 5-year period 2017-2022. This data was then used to calculate the trends in the increase in the share of PEVs in each EU country up to 2035. The results of the analysis itself showed that the targets set by the European Parliament are too ambitious and unrealistic, with only 4 countries – Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – expected to reach them. All other countries are more or less far from them.
