ACEA: BEVs have 10.5% of all new car registrations in the EU for 2020

The latest stat report from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) indicates that in Q4 of 2020, nearly one in six passenger cars registered in the European Union was an electrically-chargeable vehicle (16.5%). These results for the fourth quarter are explained mainly with the stimulus packages from governments for low and zero-emission cars in the largest markets to boost demand after the COVID-19 crisis hit the auto market heavily.

For the entire 2020, hybrid EVs took 11.9% of all new passenger car sales in the EU, which marks a 7.2% increase compared to 2019. Battery EVs took a 10.5% share compared to 3% share for 2019. The overall decline of 3 million units in car registrations as a result of COVID-19 hit the diesel and petrol-powered vehicles the hardest. Still, conventional fuel types still dominated EU car sales in terms of market share (75.5%) in 2020.
