In the European Union, the share of new passenger car registrations with all-electric propulsion peaked at 15 percent in 2023. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle registrations experienced a somewhat moderate growth between 2015 and 2019, only to surge to 9.5 percent in 2022, before dropping through 2024. 

More EV charging stations available

The higher adoption level of electric vehicles (EVs) goes hand in hand with efforts of European countries to improve infrastructure for such vehicles by increasing the number of charging stations available. The number of charging stations in Europe and Turkey increased by 41.2 percent between 2022 and 2023. Around 755,800 stations had become available across the continent in 2023. 

Å koda and Tesla take the lead
