In 2022, 1.2 percent of all registered passenger cars in the European Union would be fully electric. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands are the leaders in percentage terms. Just like last year, residents of Greece use relatively the least number of EVs.
In the European Union, only residents of Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark had a fully electric car at least in three percent of cases in 2022. Iceland and Norway, both not member states of the EU, have considerably more EVs in use, according to figures from the European car manufacturers association ACEA. The organization looked at the number of vehicles registered in each country, not at the number of cars sold in the relevant year.
In the EU, 1.2 percent of all cars were fully electric in 2022, which is roughly 0.4 percent more than the year before. Furthermore, 1 and 3.1 percent of all cars in the EU were plug-in hybrid and hybrid, respectively.
The figures show that Cyprus is the only European country that will not have a larger share of EVs in percentage terms by 2022. The caveat here is that the ACEA rounds to one decimal place. Furthermore, in Greece, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania, Croatia, Spain, Italy and Estonia, the EV percentage did not increase by more than 0.1 percentage points compared to 2021.
The organization also shares figures for other vehicle categories, including vans, buses and trucks. After Sweden, Germany and Austria, the Netherlands has the highest percentage of fully electric vans. The share of the number of electric trucks in all European countries does not yet exceed 0.3 percent and in most cases is even zero. The Netherlands is the European leader in the field of electric buses with a share of almost 16 percent. Ireland and Luxembourg also have a relatively high percentage of electric buses.
