Skoda wants half its car sales by 2030 to be electric in Europe

Skoda Auto aims electric cars to comprise at least half of its sales in Europe by 2030 as it takes a shift from motor engines in the coming decade, the automaker said.

As part of its plan, the automaker will reveal at least three more all-electric models, adding to two models at present. The new models are going to be positioned below its Enyaq iV electric SUV.

The automaker has not set a date on when it will entirely move away from motor engines but wants to have 50-70% of its fleet in Europe with electric drive by 2030. Less than 5% of its present car sales are electric.

Fleet emissions should drop 50% during that time, the automaker said as part of its 2030 strategy goals announced on Thursday.
