This figure represents a total of 507,300 electrified private vehicles, representing 3.35% of the European PC market in 2016, compared with 2.95% in 2015. However, it should be noted that there are only 60 models available in electrified versions, when more than 300 different models are on the market.Less than 20% of models sold in Europe are therefore available in electric version (BEV), rechargeable hybrid (PHEV) or non-rechargeable hybrid (HEV).
- Models equipped with Stop & Start, micro-hybrid or mild hybrid systems are not counted in this total. The non-rechargeable hybrid models (HEV) accounted for 303,506 sales in Europe in 2016 (compared to 235,604 units in 2015), or 2% of the European market.
