How do the upcoming stricter EU carbon emission regulations contribute to the current challenges faced by the European automobile industry?

The industry's struggles stem from a perfect storm of challenges: insufficient affordable EVs, slow charging infrastructure deployment, and the upcoming stricter EU carbon emission limits (93.6 g/km from 2025). These factors, combined with economic slowdown and increased competition from China, create a challenging environment for European automakers. This is leading to calls for regulatory relief, despite warnings that delaying the carbon targets will only delay the industry's inevitable decline.
