In September, 300,202 new electric vehicles were registered in 17 key European markets — 70.3% more than in the same month of 2025. The share of cars with a fully electric powertrain reached 32.6% of all new registrations. These data are provided by analytical organizations E-Mobility Europe, New Automotive, and Fier Automotive.
From January to September inclusive, 1.98 million electric vehicles were registered in these countries. This is 38.1% more than in the same period last year. Growth was supported by an expanding choice of models, the emergence of more affordable cars, government subsidies, and high fuel prices.
Among Europe's largest automotive markets, Germany and France showed notable results. In Germany, 88,724 electric vehicles were registered in September, with their share reaching 34.6%. In France, the figure reached 41.7% — 65,243 vehicles.
The share of electric vehicles is even higher in Northern European countries. In Norway, it was 98.8%, in Denmark — 88.8%, in Finland — 62.7%, in Sweden — 49%. Approximately half of new registrations in September also accounted for fully electric cars in Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
However, the transition to electric traction is uneven. In the Czech Republic, the share of electric vehicles was 11.2%, in Italy — 7.6%, in Poland — 6.2%. Differences are influenced by model availability, cost of ownership, and buyer support conditions.
