Electric cars in Europe
With respect to the European market, the boom is 84% compared to the first half of 2018, with recent sales totaling 173,000 units. "This increase is partly explained by the demonization of diesel engines, but also due to the emergence of new cheaper models."JATO explains.
Ranked 17th out of 23 analyzed European markets, Romania cannot be proud of its performance in this sector. Only 0.6% of the cars sold to us in January-June 2019 were 100% electric, ie. 502 pieces. From this point of view, we are below the continental average of 1.8%.
