Leslie,

334,588 cumulative in about 4.7 years, during which regular light vehicle cumulative sales were about 65 million.

Looking at the graphs, annual increases would be very little, about 100,000 going forward, and with subsidies expiring, that number likely will not increase, may even decrease.

No amount of rah-rah will alter economic/market realities unless mandates are put in place.

Here is a BNEF report of RE worldwide RE investments, which have been declining since the middle of 2011.

The EU committed to reduce its overall emissions about 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Achieving this target, which the EU says is legally binding, would require very large investments in renewables. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance , investment in “clean energy” in Europe has been declining steadily since the second quarter of 2011. The about $1.0 trillion invested in RE to date likely acts an additional headwind making the European economy less and less competitive.
