Europe records strong electric-car growth
Battery-electric vehicle registrations across 17 European markets reached 300,202 in September, up 70.3% year over year, according to figures reported by Reuters. BEVs accounted for 32.6% of new-car registrations, while year-to-date registrations reached 1.98 million, an increase of 38.1%. Reuters
Germany recorded 88,724 registrations and France 65,243. Norway remained the most electrified market in the group, with BEVs accounting for 98.8% of new registrations.
The figures point to several factors supporting adoption: government incentives, higher oil prices and a growing supply of more affordable electric models. However, performance remained uneven across Europe, with Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic recording considerably lower BEV shares.
Why it matters: Europe remains a major growth market for electric cars, but the regional differences underline the importance of purchase incentives, charging access and affordable models.
