Note that this definition, from ACEA, excludes “hybrid” cars that only run on petrol, but also have a small battery.
Overall in 2025, EVs reached 17.4% of the market share

I thought that it wouldn’t happen until 2040 or something.
Seems like the liberticidal low-emission zones were never a necessity in the first place…

Being from France, i found this for the 2025 car sales :

As a sidenote, here’s from China as well, makes you hopeful for the future of carbon emissions : https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5330918

    Their definition of EVs exlcudes cars that run on petrol. Great!

    Their definition of petrol cars excludes hybrids that run on petrol, which are still in the lead for market share. Not so great.

    Anyway it’s a start.

      Yeah I think we need to be careful of manufacturers making “hybrids” by using the smallest battery possible so that it’s basically always using petrol. Hopefully there’s some legislation coming or already there for this.

      But I think the main takeaway is to show there is still a growing market for EVs seen as the manufacturers were recently trying to say an ICE ban was unrealistic.
