Electric cars close gap on petrol vehicles in Europe

Original: Der Verbrenner verliert in Europa weiter an Boden. 🔋🚗 Vor einem Jahr sah die Lage noch ganz anders aus. Zwischen Januar

New registration figures show petrol cars are losing further ground in Europe. Between January and September 2025, around 2.23 million new petrol cars were registered, nearly a million more than electric vehicles — but a year earlier the gap looked very different, indicating electric car sales are catching up significantly. Commenters see the shift as confirmation that Europe's move away from combustion engines is accelerating despite earlier doubts.

Why now: Fresh registration data shows electric vehicles rapidly narrowing the gap with petrol cars, fueling debate about Europe's car market shift.
