Breakdown of BEV sales by country in Europe (Q1-2021)
- Over the first six months of 2021, European sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) increased by 127.3% compared to the first six months of 2020, according to the latest figures released by ACEA, meaning 503,411 units against 221,514 units in the first half of the year. These sales represent 7.9% of the European passenger car market in the first half of 2021. It should be noted that this analysis is carried out on 30 European countries, that is to say the 26 of the European Union, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
- The analysis of the sales by country in Europe, shows that the countries located in Eastern Europe, more precisely those which joined the European Union the latest, are much less demanding of these vehicles than other countries located in Western Europe. They only represent 2.4% of BEV sales in Europe in 2020 (17,657 units), while all engines combined, these countries represent 9.7% of the European passenger car market.
- In the first half of 2021, they represented 3.9% of BEV sales in Europe (9.6% all engines combined), or 19,872 units, marking a slight improvement compared to 2020. But these figures are still very far from those registered by BEVs in Western European countries (8,3%).
