Columbia Business School’s Professor Gernot Wagner spoke with Marketplace reporter Mitchell Hartman about the decline in European electric vehicle sales following the expiration of government subsidies. Wagner explained that while EV demand has grown steadily over the past several years, it remains highly sensitive to policy incentives, upfront vehicle prices, and charging infrastructure availability. He noted that the recent drop in sales underscores how critical long-term, stable climate policies are for supporting the clean-energy transition—and how consumer adoption can slow when financial support is withdrawn too quickly.
