Electric cars to triple market share in Europe amid COVID-19, researchers say

This saw electric cars more than triple their market share in the European Economic Area (EEA), compared with the first half of last year, T&E said

BRUSSELS : Electric vehicles made up 8 per cent of car sales in Europe in the first half of 2020, putting them on track to triple their market share this year, according to analysis by the NGO Transport & Environment (T&E).

While the novel coronavirus pandemic has seen overall car sales plummet, sales of electric cars – which T&E defined as both battery and plug-in hybrid models – have increased.

This saw electric cars more than triple their market share in the European Economic Area (EEA), compared with the first half of last year, T&E said.
