隨著全球電動車市場快速擴張，除了續航里程與充電速度受到重視外，其實影響電動車普及率的關鍵，還有其可維修性。英國權威車輛風險評估機構 Thatcham Research日前發布《新電動車藍圖》(New Electric Vehicle Blueprint)，直指當前電動車設計過度偏向模組化與高度整合，導致輕微碰撞也可能造成高額維修費用，甚至讓車輛直接被判定報廢。這份報告背後揭露的不只是技術問題，更可能成為左右未來電動車保險成本與消費者接受度的關鍵轉折點。

在近年全球汽車產業邁向電氣化的浪潮中，越南在東南亞電動車市場的表現令人矚目，本土品牌VinFast的崛起象徵著該國減少燃油依賴的野心。然而，僅有電動車並不足以解決核心問題。因此，越南正試圖定義一種結合能源生產與移動載具的垂直整合模式。

在全球電動車市場進入調整期之際，一項原本被視為跨界創新代表的合作計畫正式畫下句點。由Sony與Honda共同成立的合資公司 Sony Honda Mobility (SHM)，其主打品牌Afeela電動車計畫確定取消，象徵這場結合娛樂科技與汽車工業的實驗，最終未能跨越市場與產業現實的門檻。

根據路透社報導，顧問機構Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (簡稱BMI)公布的最新數據顯示，2026年全球電動車市場在年初出現明顯降溫跡象，掛牌數量較去年同期下滑11%，主因來自全球最大電動車市場中國大陸出現自2020年疫情爆發以來最顯著的銷售衰退。這一趨勢反映出全球政策環境與市場需求正同時出現變化，使得原本高速成長的電動車市場進入調整階段。

中國大陸電動車龍頭企業比亞迪近日宣布推出新一代電動車電池技術，主打約9分鐘即可完成接近滿電的充電能力，宣稱為目前全球量產電動車中充電速度最快的電池之一。這項技術不僅是電動車補能效率的重要突破，也顯示中國大陸自主車廠正試圖以充電速度重新定義電動車競爭的核心。

As trade tensions over electric vehicles between Mainland China and the European Union remain elevated, both sides announced this week that they have taken a step forward toward resolving disputes over imports of Mainland China–made electric vehicles. The two parties agreed to adopt a “price undertaking” mechanism to replace, or partially replace, existing anti-subsidy tariffs. This move not only has significant implications for the long-term positioning of Mainland Chinese EV brands in Europe, but also reflects the EU’s policy balancing act between industrial protection, supply-chain dependence, and adherence to international trade rules.

The European Commission has recently put forward a proposal to adjust its automotive decarbonization policy, seeking to relax the rule that would have fully banned the sale of new combustion-engine vehicles from 2035 and replace it with more flexible emissions targets. This move can be seen as the EU’s most significant retreat from its green transition policies over the past five years. Shaped under sustained pressure from Germany, Italy, and Europe’s automotive industry, the proposal reflects the practical challenges and structural pressures European carmakers face in the global electrification race.
