More people are choosing to go electric in Europenot necessarily because they care about the environment, but because it makes sense to do so, and it brings little compromise. Even in 2025, a year marked by the pullback of incentives and slower demand growth, the continent's EV sales rose. But countless challenges lie ahead for the likes of Volkswagen, BMW, Renault and beyond. From Chinese competition to a charging arms race, here's what defined Europe's 2025 in the electric vehicle worldand what to expect in 2026 and beyond.

CATL, the world's dominant battery maker, just unveiled a new battery technology for the European market that it's calling Shenxing Pro. We don't know which vehicles it'll end up in yet, but CATL says the tech should allow for super long range and wickedly fast charging, all from a battery that won't degrade much over time. We'll have to see this battery in action before we can say whether these claims are all they're cracked up to be.
