⏱ Expected Q3 2026Five trends reshaping global travel — from EV mainstream adoption to the eco-conscious digital nomad.
In 2020, EVs represented roughly 4% of new car sales globally. By early 2026, that figure has surpassed 18% and is accelerating. The global EV fleet crossed 40 million vehicles in 2025 — a figure that would have seemed impossible a decade earlier.
The chief barrier to EV adoption — range anxiety — is being systematically dismantled. Europe added 65,000 new public charging points in 2025 alone. Ultra-fast 350 kW chargers can now add 300 km of range in under 15 minutes.
Major rental fleets are electrifying rapidly. Hertz committed to 100,000 Teslas and Europcar, Sixt and Enterprise are all expanding EV fleets. By 2027, EV options will be standard at all major European airports.
Remote work has created a new category of traveler: the eco-conscious digital nomad who combines slow travel with minimal carbon footprint. Train over plane, EV rental over petrol SUV, local accommodation over chain hotels.
Our live fuel price table tracks petrol and diesel in 69 countries. In 2026, European average petrol prices exceed €1.70/L — making the cost-per-km case for EVs increasingly compelling, even before environmental considerations.
Sustainable global mobility still faces real challenges: charging infrastructure gaps in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, battery supply chains, grid capacity. Progress is undeniable, but the transition requires continued investment and policy commitment.
