In the past year alone, 1.5 million new battery-only cars were registered, pushing the total number of electric vehicles in the EU to over 4.5 million.
This 48.5% rise compared to 2022 underscores the rapid expansion of the electric vehicle market.
To put this growth into perspective, just six years ago, electric cars accounted for only about 1% of new registrations
Countries leading the charge include Denmark, where 7.1% of all cars are electric, followed by Sweden at 5.9%, Luxembourg at 5.1%, and the Netherlands at 5%, as reported by Eurostat.
These figures highlight the significant strides being made in the adoption of electric vehicles across the EU.
