The take-up rate for pure electric cars in Europe, excluding plug-in hybrids, may still be a great deal slower than the industry had earlier expected, but despite the sector’s comparative snails’ pace rate of growth, the electric car industry may draw some comfort from AID’s latest prediction that this year’s electric car market in Western Europe is now forecast to breach the 100,000 level for the very first time, thus setting a new all-time record
The good news according to AID’s latest electric car sales forecast is that this year’s West European electric car registrations
(BEVs) are likely to breach the 100,000 level for the very first time.
The not so good news is that full year West European registrations of electric cars (BEVs) may reach a six-figure total for the first time, but this outwardly heart-warming turnout for the industry still adds up to
less than 1 per cent of this year’s regional new car sales at the very best.
And even that diminutive turnout is flattered a great deal by tiny Norway, where thanks to on-going sweetheart tax deals and a great deal more, just over a fifth of West Europe’s BEVs are now sold.
