Record number of EVs registered in western Europe across last quarter
Briefly

A record of nearly 600,000 battery electric vehicles (BEV) was registered in western Europe between April and June, driven by the arrival of more affordable models. Sales have accelerated, particularly in southern Europe. The introduction of smaller and cheaper BEVs is essential for attracting lower-income buyers, previously dominated by corporate consumers. European manufacturers, including Stellantis and Renault, are expanding their affordable offerings to comply with EU emissions regulations. Moreover, the growth of the charging network across Europe reduces range anxiety among potential buyers, further promoting electric vehicle adoption.
