Plug-In Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Sales Accelerate Worldwide
- While the share of diesel decreases significantly in European countries (38% in the first half of 2018), and a study predicts that it could fall to 25% in 2020 and 5% in 2030, the share of electric engine cars (electric cars and plug-in hybrids) is accelerating in Europe, the United States, China, Japan and other parts of the world.
- The figures calculated by Inovev show that sales of electric cars (BEV) and rechargeable hybrids (PHEV) have increased worldwide by 66% in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017, after having increased by 46% on the first semester 2017 compared to the first half of 2016.
- By region, there is a growth of 108% in China, with a total of 372,782 units in the first half of 2018, which augurs a volume of one million units throughout the year. Recall that the quotas imposed by the Chinese government aim to achieve a Chinese market of more than two million electric cars in 2019. With growth comparable to that of 2018, this scenario becomes possible.
- European sales of electric cars and plug-in hybrids increase by 32%, with 175,554 units, the USA sales increase by 37%, to 120,786 units and Japan sales increase by 77%, to 30,684 units. Sales in the rest of the world are estimated at 50,000 units (+ 56%).
