EVs Now Outsell Petrol Cars Across Europe
Original: 31.7% of European Car Sales are EVs, and only ~21.7% are Purely Gasoline-fueled
New figures show electric vehicles accounted for 31.7% of European car sales, while purely gasoline-powered cars made up only about 21.7%. The numbers underline how quickly the continent's shift away from combustion engines is moving, with plug-in hybrids and other electrified models also taking a growing share. Commenters highlight the trend as a milestone for Europe's climate and transport policy.
Why now: The milestone of EVs clearly outselling petrol-only cars reflects the accelerating transition driven by EU emissions rules and manufacturer commitments.
