does this data considers purely electric only or hybrids too?

I wonder at which point buying fossil fuels in Norway becomes a problem. So many EVs on the road, and very low population density outside the main cities… at some point it’s no longer profitable to keep gas stations open.

Wait, so Norway is really almost 100%? I’m surprised since there are a lot of remote areas where I’m sure there aren’t any chargers.

I’m kinda surprised that Portugal is not like all the other Balkan countries.

Why are the 24% of Germany greener than the 24% of Switzerland?
JoCGame2012 on
How would it look like when changing the scale from 0 – red, 50% – yellow, 100% – deep green?
Floridsdorfer1210 on
Germany and Switzerland have different colours. Both are at 24%.

I don’t think the numbers will get much better in Poland. Most people in large cities live in apartment buildings. There’s simply no place to charge your car.

This is so artificial.
Remove the subsidies on one and the massive taxes on the other and we would soon see where it should be.
Any. Down vote away.

RIP if you expected yellow meaning something around 50%. Also what’s the difference between 24 German and Swiss percent?

Also Norway. Usage of domestic flights 3 times higher than any other in Europe. Range anxiety?

If the colour legend is a gradient, the colours on the countries should be too. Spain and Portugal are the same colour, even though Portugal’s percentage is more than double that of Spain’s, just because I guess they’re both in the same arbitrary bracket of 10-24 or whatever

Albania, the Norway of the Balkans, as I’ve always said.
Do note that not all graphs show exactly the same thing! Most show new car sales, some show car *registrations*, whilst others show *vehicle* sales. Some graphs show petrol and diesel seperately, whilst others simply have ICE vehicles as a category. Interesting data nonetheless.

I think in Ukraine the percentage of EV vehicles bought by civilian people might be quite higher.
A lot of cars bought here are trucks and vans for the military, and they are definitely not electrical. So this might affect overall number.

Albania?

I’m surprised at Ukraine, it’s full of Teslas – although I’m pretty sure they didn’t buy them recently and might have regretted it since.
It also has a pretty decent ev infrastructure.

In Ireland, the breakdown of new car sales from January -July 2026 was:
26% Hybrid
26% BEV
20% Petrol
14% Plug in Hybrid
12% Diesel

Russia seems to have very reliable and cheap gas network as almost no one is buying electric vehicles.

How was that scale assigned? It has to be logarithmic or something, because 99% is so much more than 42% and is not recognizable from the map alone that that difference is that significant. This map feels like literal green washing.

Can anyone explain what the Scandinavian and Benelux countries are doing to achieve such success in this area? Is it more cost-effective to buy such cars there? Or is it perhaps that people’s mindset is different?

Europe: “So who here wants to make a boatload of money drilling for oil but instead of using it for your own energy needs you use renewable energy sources instead”
Norway, sitting in the back slowly raises hand: “Det gjør jeg!”

Albania should be higher than 50%. We don’t have public data for new cars only ones 0 – 4 years old. In 2025, out of 12053 imported cars 0-4 yrs old, 5593 were EVs. All the EVs have to be new otherwise VAT is applied making used EVs more expensive than new ones. Of the rest of the vehicles, plenty are used ones.
In 2026 out of 10723 imported vehicles 0 – 4 yrs old, 6463 are EVs.
Main reason is no homologation needed for Chinese market imports. This will change soon as per EU requirements.
Due to the majority of EVs being Chinese market imports, most of the charging infrastructure is GBT and not CCS2.
