In the first eight months of 2023, one million fully electric vehicles (EVs) were sold in the European Union (EU). At the beginning of November that year, Europe also reached the milestone of 600,000 charging points, just a few months after reaching 500,000 EV charging points. The figures show that 2023 will be another relevant year for the European EV market.
The transport sector is moving in the direction of greener, multi-energy mobility. This is consequently changing driving habits with the gradual introduction of electric vehicles, which are 4.4 times more efficient in using energy than internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEs) to move the same payload. EVs are also becoming cheaper for consumers, thanks to support mechanisms on the way to cost parity.
