EU electric car sales up 11.1% in Q2 this year as fuel car share shrinks
On July 20, the European Automobile Association (ACEA) released data showing that pure electric vehicle sales in the EU continued to expand in the second quarter of 2022, increasing to 9.9% of total passenger vehicle registrations from 7.5% in the same period last year, due to a shrinking market share for fuel vehicles and a decline in total vehicle sales.
In the second quarter of this year, the market share of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the EU fell to 55.8% from 62.0% a year earlier, and total sales of both models fell by more than one-fifth. In contrast, sales of pure electric vehicles increased by 11.1%.
Of the new vehicles sold, two-fifths were electric, with hybrids remaining the most popular with a 22.6 percent market share.
ACEA previously released data show that the number of new car registrations in the European Union in June this year was the lowest since 1996 because of logistics bottlenecks and ongoing chip shortages that have limited car production.
