E-mobility: Europe shows the way
If you compare new registrations of electric vehicles in the most important markets in the fourth quarter of 2019 to the same period last year, you can see a significant decline: by 20.4 percent for battery-electric vehicles and even by 23.9 percent for plug-in hybrids. Growth continued unabated for hybrids: they increased by 30.5 percent.
In 2019 as a whole, however, the number of newly registered pure electric vehicles rose by 13.8 percent (almost 1.4 million vehicles in all markets analyzed), while plug-in hybrids fell by almost as much (13.2 percent, 449,660 new registrations). In the end, there was growth of 23.2 percent for hybrids (a good 1.4 million new registrations). Thanks to the incentive mechanism of the fleet consumption target in the European markets, the experts at PwC expect an overall recovery in the global e-car market in 2020.
For the top 5 countries in the European market – Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and Spain – the long-term trend in newly registered electric vehicles continues to show almost an annual doubling. This essentially also applies to 2019. Battery-electric cars increased by around 78 percent. In Germany, the world's third-largest market for electric vehicles, battery-electric vehicles grew by 76 percent for the year as a whole, and in France by 37.7 percent. In Great Britain, “electric vehicles” increased by more than double to 203.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019 (full year: 144.4 percent).
