The market share of BEVs and PHEVs in the various European countries
- Sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars represented 9% of the European market over the first nine months of 2020, compared to 3.5% in 2019 and 2.5% in 2018.
- But the distribution of sales is very different from country to country. Already, the countries of Eastern Europe have bought little of this type of vehicle since their market share does not exceed 2%. In Western European countries, it is close to 10% (9.7%).
- The European countries which hold the largest market share of electric and plug-in hybrid cars are Norway with a record share of 70.8%, Sweden with a share of 27.9%, Finland with a share of 16.6 %, the Netherlands with a share of 15.8% and Denmark with a share of 13.0%. The Scandinavian countries are therefore the most demanding of this type of vehicle. Switzerland (11.8%), Portugal (11.5%), Germany (10.0%), France (9.5%) and Great Britain (9.0%) follow.
- These nine countries account for 85% of sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars. The other twenty countries (including those located in Eastern Europe) therefore represent only 15% of sales of this type of model. The largest volumes are represented by Germany, France, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden. Smaller volumes are represented by Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Greece.
- It is possible that the expected growth in sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the 2020s will remain concentrated in countries with high purchasing power as they do today, given the high price of this type of vehicle.
