Article 3 2.

When the share of light-duty battery electric vehicles compared to the total fleet of light-duty vehicles registered in the territory of a Member State reaches at least 15 % and the Member State demonstrates that the implementation of the requirements set out in paragraph 1, second subparagraph, has adverse effects in that Member State, in that it is discouraging private investments, and is no longer justified, that Member State may submit to the Commission a reasoned request for authorisation to apply lower requirements in terms of level of total power output or to cease to apply such requirements.
