Italy’s transition was showing promise earlier in the transition, but have failed to build on this and have seen market share largely stagnant over the last few years.

The transition has faced a number of challenges in the country such as multiple hostile governments which have spread myths that EVs are worse for the environment and motorists pockets. Nevertheless, it does offer some grants, following France with rules which allow them to exclude vehicles with high embodied emissions, such as those from China. Italy faces an uphill battle to help motorists lower costs, and futureproof its manufacturing industry. Italian luxury brands that are yet to start their transition will need to embrace the technology at pace.
