Nearly half of new passenger cars in EU electrified -ACEA::Sales of electric cars in the European Union were almost half of all new passenger car registrations in the EU between January and November 2023 and already crossed the halfway mark in the month of November alone, data showed on Wednesday. Electrified vehicles - either fully electric models, plug-in hybrids or full hybrids - accounted for over 47.6% of all new passenger car registrations in the EU as of November, up from 43% in the same period last year, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) said. New-car registrations in the EU increased 6.7% in November, the 16th consecutive month of growth, with a year-on-year rise of 13.3% in the registration of electric vehicles.

    Should be 100%. Cars often last 20 years, and no car should be driving around in 2043 using 8L/100km.

      Yeah, because EVs grow on trees and are absolutely clean and do not need any resources at all!

        Little known fact, ICE cars don’t grow on trees, either.

        EVs use less resources over their lifespan than ICE cars, so replacing any ICE car sale with an EV car will always be better for the environment.

        Saying EV cars are better than ICE cars is not an endorsement for cars and car-dependency. People need to move to car-sharing, bicycles, and walkable neighborhoods. The majority of EU residents should not own a car.

                    Yeah, I don’t know how train in Germany are branded.

                    Two Avant tickets to Granda: 60 Euro.

                    Gasoline to drive two people and a EV bicycle to Granada: 30 Euro.

                    No one buys a car and pays 4000 in insurance and taxes to make a single trip.
