If the EU Commission has its way, rental car providers and company fleets will allegedly only be allowed to purchase electric vehicles starting in 2030. According to a German media report, such a requirement is indeed on the table. However, the decision is not final – and resistance is already mounting.

The German Bild am Sonntag reported on the plans to impose a 100 per cent EV quota for rental car providers and company fleets for new acquisitions from 2030. According to the report, the EU Commission wants to present the proposal in late summer, kicking off the parliamentary process.
