"Electric cars outsold traditional gas-powered passenger vehicles for the first time in Europe in December of last year, marking a huge shift in the regional car market. Despite a proposed loosening of the upcoming 2035 gas car ban, Europeans bought over 300,000 EVs last month, boosting the year-over-year figures by a solid 50% and overtaking gas cars, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA)."
"However, the fight is not over yet. Hybrids still rule the sales charts in Europe, but EVs are closing in. Last month, customers in the European Union, the United Kingdom and the European Free Trade Association countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) registered 308,955 new EVs. In the EU alone, 217,898 EVs were registered. In both cases, figures increased by a little over 50% compared to 2024"
Electric vehicles outsold gas-powered passenger cars in Europe for the first time in December, with more than 300,000 EVs registered across the EU, UK and EFTA countries. EV registrations increased by roughly 50% year-over-year, including 217,898 recorded in the EU alone. Hybrids remain the top-selling powertrain, but EVs are narrowing the gap quickly. Diesel market share has steadily declined over the past decade, dropping from market leader to near the bottom. More affordable EV models are entering the market, such as the revamped Renault 5 priced around $33,000. Automakers are rolling out battery-powered models to lower average fleet emissions.
