NEW DATA: Europe is paying a €203 million a day premium for diesel due to geopolitical shocks. With 38% of EU passenger cars being diesel, Europe is uniquely exposed to these disruptions. 🧵👇

A faster EV ramp up is the only solution to shield Europe from high prices in the long run. This can be achieved through scrappage schemes and tighter vehicle emissions rules. 3/
