“In China we see more of a consolidation of the market,” explains

Availability problems in Germany, wide acceptance in
France
In Germany, the world’s third largest market for electric vehicles,
put the
battery-electric vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2019 by 39.2
Percent too
(Full year: +76 percent, around 60,000 new registrations)
Plug-in hybrids around
227.5 percent (full year: +43.7 percent, approx. 45,000 new registrations)
and the
Hybrid by 110.8 percent (full year: 96.2 percent, a good 190,000
New registrations).
There are still production problems with the electric vehicles, and
some
Manufacturers have already announced short-time work, explains
Christoph Stürmer.
“Tesla’s plans to bring their Gigafactory to Germany,
will the
Overall development towards electromobility is good, “adds Felix
Kuhnert, PwC
Global automotive leader.
In France, battery electric vehicles put in fourth

by 14.3 percent (full year: +37.7 percent), the plug-in hybrids
by 83.2
Percent (full year: +28 percent), the hybrid by 21.3 percent

explains Felix
Kuhnert from PwC. For example, there are now numerous

electric car sharing, meanwhile also happen in rallying and
Racing a lot.
“In France, electromobility is already something playful,

Felix Kuhnert.
Overall strategy in the UK, waking up late in Italy and
Spain
In the UK, the “Stromer” rallied in the fourth quarter of 2019
203.4 percent
to more than double (full year: 144.4 percent) the
Plug-in hybrids came
in contrast, only to 10.2 percent growth (full year: -21.3
Percent),
the hybrid to 31.1 percent (full year: 15.4 percent). “The
Swing from
Diesel on electric cars is in full swing in the UK, ”
explained
PwC expert Christoph Stürmer added: “Interesting is ahead
all that one
the e-cars there now as moving electricity storage, so as
Part of a
Overall strategy considered, from the wind turbine to
Private household. “
Most other countries lack such a consistent strategy
yet,
including Italy and Spain. The steep increase in
battery-electric
Vehicles of 113.1 percent in Italy and 95 percent in Spain
show them
waking up late in terms of electromobility. “Increasingly
Vehicles become
available, but still at a very low level, “said PwC expert
Striker.
In total, there were just under 11,000 in Italy in 2019 and in Spain
a good 12,000
pure “Stromer” new.
Legal consumption targets will affect the European one in 2020
Automobile market
How well will fuel-efficient vehicles like that sell in 2020
Volkswagen ID3 or
the smart EQ and how big is the selection of electric vehicles today
already?
These questions are for the overall development of the European
Automobile market
2020 crucial. Felix Kuhnert, Partner and Global
Automotive leader
at PwC Germany, convinced: “The tightened
Fleet consumption targets of the
European Union faces manufacturers with the challenge
significantly more
Electric cars for sale. Only with a product portfolio in which
fuel-efficient
Vehicles have a significant share, that can be
ambitious
Reach the 95 gram target. The massive investments of the

Christoph Stürmer, Global Lead Analyst PwC Autofacts, adds:
“Challenging
is that electric mobility and customer preferences in the

European countries are very different. While
in Norway

Car manufacturers would therefore need their own portfolio strategy
for each

With regard to
