Analysis of Changes in the Investment Environment for the Electric Vehicle Industry Under the EU’s 2035 Carbon Neutrality Goal

Abstract

The European Union’s ambitious 2035 carbon neutrality goal has significantly transformed the investment environment for the electric vehicle (EV) industry. This paper analyzes the changes in investment trends, technological innovation, infrastructure development, and strategic positioning within the EU’s evolving landscape. By examining policy frameworks, market dynamics, and the influence of international competition, this study highlights the factors driving increased investment in the EV sector. Furthermore, environmental and social considerations are discussed as essential elements influencing investment strategies, with particular attention to sustainability and regional disparities. The findings indicate that technological advancements, particularly in battery technology and charging infrastructure, will continue to shape the EU’s investment environment. Policy support and collaboration between public and private sectors are identified as critical factors for enhancing competitiveness and ensuring inclusive growth. The paper concludes with policy recommendations aimed at promoting a resilient and balanced investment environment for the European EV industry.
