Evolution of annual registrations of plug-in electric passenger cars in Europe between 2011 and 2019
Market share of new plug-in light-duty vehicles in China, Europe and the United States between 2015 and 2019

The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Europe is actively supported by the European Union and several national, provincial, and local governments in Europe. A variety of policies have been established to provide direct financial support to consumers and manufacturers; non-monetary incentives; subsidies for the deployment of charging infrastructure; and long term regulations with specific targets.[1][2] In particular, the EU regulation that set the mandatory targets for average fleet CO2 emissions for new cars has been effective in contributing to the successful uptake of plug-in cars in recent years.[1]

Europe had more than two million plug-in electric passenger cars and light commercial vehicles on the road at the end of April 2020.[3] The European stock of plug-in passenger is the world's second largest market after China, accounting for 25% of the global stock in 2019.[1] Europe also has the second largest electric light commercial vehicle stock, with over 115,000 units, 31% of the global stock in 2019.[1]

As of December 2019, Norway is the leading country market with 384,000 units registered since 2010, followed by Germany, France and the UK.[1][4] The plug-in passenger car segment achieved a market share of 1.3% of new car registrations in 2016, and rose to 3.6% in 2019.[5][6]

As of December 2019, France listed as the European country with the largest country market for light-duty all-electric utility vans, with a stock of almost 50,000 units, followed by Germany, the UK, and Norway.[1]

Government incentives and policies

The European Union and several national, provincial, and local governments around Europe have introduced policies to support the mass market adoption of plug-in electric vehicles. A variety of policies have been established to provide direct financial support to consumers and manufacturers; non-monetary incentives; subsidies for the deployment of charging infrastructure; procurement of electric vehicle for government fleets; and long term regulations with specific targets.[1][2]

Financial incentives

Financial incentives for consumers aim to make plug-in electric car purchase price competitive with conventional cars due to the still higher up front cost of electric vehicles. Among the financial incentives there are one-time purchase incentives such as tax credits, purchase grants, exemptions from import duties, and other fiscal incentives; exemptions from road, bridge and tunnel tolls, and from congestion pricing fees; and exemption of registration and annual use vehicle fees.[1][2] There are also several non-monetary incentives such as allowing plug-in vehicles access to bus lanes, free parking and free charging.[2]

As of May 2019, tax benefits and incentives for electrically chargeable passenger cars were available in 24 out of the then 28 European Union member states. Nevertheless, only 12 member states offered bonus or grant payments as purchase incentives, and most countries only grant tax reductions or exemptions for all-electric cars.[7] Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland offered no incentives.[8]

French bonus-malus

See also: Government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles in France

France introduced in 2008 a bonus-malus CO2 based tax system that penalize fossil-fuel vehicle sales. This a revenue-neutral policy mechanism allows to balance government support with direct revenues from the taxes collected from sale of particularly polluting and/or greenhouse gas emitting cars.[1] The bonus applies to private and company vehicles purchased on or after 5 December 2007, and is deducted from the purchase price of the vehicle. The malus penalty applies to all vehicles registered after 1 January 2008, and is added at the time of registration.[9]

EU average fleet CO2 emissions

European Union Directive No 443/2009 set a mandatory average fleet CO2 emissions target for new cars, after a voluntary commitment made in 1998 by the auto industry had failed to reduce emissions by 2007. The regulation applies to new passenger cars registered in the European Union and EEA member states for the first time. A carmaker who fails to comply has to pay an "excess emissions premium" for each vehicle registered according with the amount of g/km of exceeded.[10]

The 2009 regulation set a 2015 target of 130 g/km for the fleet average for new passenger cars. A similar set of regulations for light commercial vehicles was set in 2011, with an emissions target of 175 g/km for 2017. Both targets were met several years in advance. A second set of regulations, passed in 2014, established a new target of average CO2 emissions of new cars to fall to 95 g/km, scheduled to be phased in in 2020 (95%), and fully apply from 2021 onward. The target for light-commercial vehicles was set to 147 g/km by 2020.[11][12]

In April 2019, Regulation (EU) 2019/631 was adopted, which introduced CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles for 2025 and 2030. The new Regulation went into force on 1 January 2020, and has replaced and repealed Regulation (EC) 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011.[11][13] The 2019 Regulation set new emission targets relative to a 2021 baseline, with a reduction of the average CO2 emissions from new cars by 15% in 2025 (81 g/km), and by 37.5% in 2030 (59 g/km). For light-commercial vehicles the new targets are a 15% reduction for 2025 and a 31% reduction for 2030.[12][14]

The 2019 Regulation also introduced an incentive mechanism or credit system from 2025 onwards for zero- and low-emission vehicles (ZLEVs). A ZLEV is defined as a passenger car or a commercial van with CO2 emissions between 0 and 50 g/km. The regulation set ZLEV sales targets of 15% for 2025 and 35% for 2030, and manufacturers have some flexibility in how they achieve those targets. Carmakers that outperform the ZLEV sales targets will be rewarded with higher CO2 emission targets, but the target relaxation is capped at a maximum 5% to safeguard the integrity of the regulation.[12][14]

Since 2018, European carmakers have been fully embracing electrification of their car models to further reduce CO2 emissions, and comply with the targets established by the EU.[15] The EU regulations have resulted in a significant growth of sales of plug-in electric cars since 2019.[1]

In 2020, despite of a strong decline of overall car sales in all countries as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the plug-in car segment has increased significantly its market share.[16] According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), during the first quarter of 2020, and due to the COVID‐19 outbreak, the market share of new passenger plug-in electric cars in the 27 EU countries was 6.8%, up from 2.5% the same period in 2018.[17] In April 2020 the European plug-in market share rose to 11%.[18]

Norwegian case
Historical trend of annual average new fleet CO2 emissions in Norway (2011-2019).
Source: Norwegian Road Federation (OFV)

In order to reduce Norway's greenhouse gas emissions, its government pledged in 2012, among other measures, a target for the average fleet CO2 emission rate of new passenger cars of 85 g/km by 2020, 10 g/km lower than the European Commission's targets for 2021.[19][20]

As a result of its fast growing EV market penetration, average fleet CO2 emissions have been falling in Norway every year. Norway achieved in 2016 the European target set for 2021, with average CO2 emissions for all new passenger cars registered in 2016 of 93 g/km, down 7 g/km from 2015.[21] Average CO2 emissions for all new passenger cars registered in 2017 was 82 g/km, down from 93 g/km in 2016, and below the government's target of 85 grams set for 2020. Norway achieved its transportation emissions target three years before the pledged deadline.[20][22][23]

Annual average new passenger car fleet CO2 emissions reached an all-time low in 2019 with 60 g/km, 11 g/km lower than in 2018. Nevertheless, the average for gasoline-powered cars declined only 1 g/km from 2018 to 93 g/km, while diesel-powered cars increase their average CO2 emissions from 131 g/km in 2018 to 134 g/km in 2019. The net gain in the overall reduction of average fleet CO2 emissions is the result of the large market share of 42.4% achieved by the all-electric segment in 2019.[24]

Phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles

Timeline of national targets

100% ZEV car sales[1][25]
Selected countries Year

Denmark 2030
Iceland
Ireland
Netherlands (100% ZEV sales)
Sweden

France
Germany (100% ZEV sales) 2050

Several European governments have made long term pledges with compliance targets within a specific timeframe such as ZEV mandates and the phase out of internal combustion engine vehicle sales.[1][2] For example, Norway set a national goal that all new car sales by 2025 should be zero emission vehicles (electric or hydrogen).[26][27]

Some cities are planning to establish a partial or total ban on internal combustion engine vehicles or to implement zero-emission zones (ZEZ) restricting traffic access into an urban cordon area or city center where only zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) are allowed access. In such areas, all internal combustion engine vehicles are banned.[28][29]

As of May 2020, cities planning to gradually introduce ZEZ, or a partial or total ban fossil fuel powered vehicles include, among others, Amsterdam (2030),[30] Athens (2025),[31] Barcelona (2030),[31] Brussels (2030/2035),[28] Copenhagen (2030),[31] London (2020/2025),[28] Madrid (2025),[32] Milan (2030),[31] Oslo (2024/2030),[28] Oxford (2021-2035),[33] Paris (2024/2030),[28] and Rome (2024/2030).[28][34]

Other policies

There are also measures to promote efficient vehicles in the Directive 2009/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles, and in the Directive 2006/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on energy end-use efficiency and energy services.[35]

The 2009 Directive applies to contracting entities under the obligation to apply the procurement procedures set out in Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC, as well as operators of public passenger transport services by rail and by road under a public service contract within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007. These entities and operators should take into account lifetime energy and environmental impacts, including energy consumption and emissions of CO2, and of certain pollutants, when purchasing road transport vehicles with the objectives of promoting and stimulating the market for clean and energy efficient vehicles.[35]

Markets and sales

Annual sales of plug-in passenger cars in Europe compared to the world's top country markets between 2011 and 2019[36][37][38][39][40][41]

Europe had more than two million plug-in electric passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in circulation at the end of April 2020.[3] The European stock of plug-in passenger is the world's second largest market after China, accounting for 25% of the global stock in 2019.[40] Europe also has the second largest electric light commercial vehicle stock, with over 115,000 units, 31% of the global stock in 2019.[1]

Since 2016 the plug-in passenger car segment has experienced rapid growth, with annual registrations increasing 33% in 2018, 45% in 2019, and 81.7% during the first quarter of 2020.[41][17][42] The plug-in segment achieved a market share of 1.3% of new car registrations in 2016, and rose to 3.6% in 2019.[5][6]

Cumulative sales of light-duty plug-in electric vehicles in Europe passed the 500,000 unit mark in May 2016,[43] and the one million milestone in June 2018.[44] Norway passed the 100,000th registered plug-in unit milestone in April 2016,[45] France passed the same milestone in September 2016,[46] and the Netherlands in November 2016.[47] The UK achieved the 100,000 unit mark in March 2017.[48][49]

As of December 2019, European sales of plug-in cars and vans are led by Norway with over 384,000 light-duty units registered since 2010,[4] followed by Germany with cumulative registrations of over 305,000 plug-in electric passenger cars.[48][50][51][52] The next leading countries are France, with cumulative registrations of 305,061 light-duty plug-ins as of February 2020;[53] the UK, with about 298,000 light-duty plug-in vehicles up until April 2020;[54] and the Netherlands, with 218,501 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles in use as of March 2020.[55]

Norway was the top selling plug-in country market in terms of annual sales from 2016 to 2018.[48][56] In 2019, Germany surpassed Norway as the best selling plug-in market with more than 108,000 plug-in cars registered, leading both the all-electric and the plug-in hybrid segments.[6][52]

2010–2015

A total of 1,614 all-electric cars and 1,305 light-utility vehicles were sold in 2010. Sales jumped from 2,919 units in 2010 to 13,779 in 2011, consisting of 11,271 pure electric cars and 2,508 commercial vans.[57] In addition, over 300 plug-in hybrids were sold in 2011, mainly Opel Amperas.[59] Light-duty plug-in vehicle sales totaled 34,333 units in 2012, consisting of 24,713 all-electric cars and vans, and 9,620 plug-in hybrids.[59][61][62] The Opel/Vauxhall Ampera plug-in hybrid was Europe's top selling plug-in electric car in 2012 with 5,268 units, closely followed by the all-electric Nissan Leaf with 5,210 units.[59][77]

The Opel Ampera plug-in hybrid was the top selling plug-in electric car in Europe in 2012 with 5,268 units.[59]

The plug-in segment sales more than double to 71,943 units in 2013. Pure electric passenger and light commercial vehicles sales increased by 63.9% to 40,496 units.[61] In addition, a total of 31,477 extended-range cars and plug-in hybrids were sold in 2013.[64] Registrations reached 104,746 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles in 2014, up 45.6% from 2013. A total of 65,199 pure electric cars and light-utility vehicles were registered in Europe in 2014, up 60.9% from 2013. All-electric passenger cars represented 87% of the European all-electric segment registrations.[66] Extended-range cars and plug-in hybrid registrations totaled 39,547 units in 2014, up 25.8% from 2013.[64]

During 2013 took place a surge in sales of plug-in hybrids in the European market, particularly in the Netherlands, with 20,164 PHEVs registered during the year.[78][79] Out of the 71,943 highway-capable plug-in electric passenger cars and utility vans sold in the region during 2013, plug-in hybrids totaled 31,447 units, representing 44% of the plug-in electric vehicle segment sales that year.[61][64] This trend continued in 2014. Plug-in hybrids represented almost 30% of the plug-in electric drive sales during the first six months of 2014, and with the exception of the Nissan Leaf, sales of the previous European best selling models fell significantly, while recently introduced models captured a significant share of the segment sales, with the Mitsubishi Outlander P-HEV, Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Renault Zoe, Volkswagen e-Up!, and the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid (available as a diesel–electric hybrid) ranking among the top ten best selling models.[80]

The Nissan Leaf was the top selling plug-in car in Europe in 2013 with 11,120 units sold.[81]

In 2014 Norway was the top selling country in the light-duty all-electric market segment, with 18,649 passenger cars and utility vans registered, more than doubling its 2013 sales. France ranked second with 15,046 units registered, followed by Germany with 8,804 units, the UK with 7,730 units, and the Netherlands with 3,585 car and vans registrations.[82] In the plug-in hybrid segment, the Netherlands was the top selling country in 2014 with 12,425 passenger cars registered,[83] followed by the UK with 7,821,[84] Germany with 4,527,[85] and Sweden 3,432 units.[86] Five European countries achieved plug-in electric car sales with a market share higher than 1% of new car sales in 2014, Norway (13.84%), the Netherlands (3.87%), Iceland (2.71%), Estonia (1.57%), and Sweden (1.53%).[87][86][88]

In 2013 the top selling plug-in was the Leaf with 11,120 units sold,[81] followed by the Outlander P-HEV with 8,197 units.[89] The Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid was the top selling plug-in electric vehicle in Europe in 2014 with 19,853 units sold,[90] surpassing of the Nissan Leaf (14,658), which fell to second place.[91] Ranking third was the Renault Zoe with 11,231 units.[92]

For a second year running, the Mitsubishi’s Outlander P-HEV was the top selling plug-in electric car in Europe with 31,214 units sold in 2015, up 57% from 2014.[90] The Renault Zoe ranked second among plug-in electric cars, with 18,727 registrations, and surpassed the Nissan Leaf to become best selling pure electric car in Europe in 2015.[68] Ranking next were the Volkswagen Golf GTE plug-in hybrid (17,300), followed by the all-electric Tesla Model S (15,515) and the Nissan Leaf (15,455), the BMW i3, including its REx variant, (12,047), and the Audi A3 e-tron plug-in hybrid (11,791).[68][90]

The Mitsubishi Outlander P-HEV was Europe's top selling plug-in car in 2014 and 2015, and also is the region's all-time best-selling plug-in electric car with 100,097 units delivered as of 2017.[93][94]

The Netherlands was the top selling country in the European light-duty plug-in electric market segment, with 43,971 passenger cars and utility vans registered in 2015. Norway ranked second with 34,455 units registered, followed by the UK with 28,188 units, France with 27,701 car and vans registrations, and Germany with 23,464 plug-in cars.[95] Eight European countries achieved plug-in electric car sales with a market share higher than 1% of new car sales in 2015, Norway (22.4%), the Netherlands (9.7%), Iceland (2.9%), Sweden (2.6%), Denmark (2.3%), Switzerland (2.0%), France (1.2%) and the UK (1.1%).[95][96] As of December 2015, almost 25% of the European plug-in stock was registered in the Nordic countries, with over 100,000 units registered. In 2015, combined registrations in the four countries were up 91% from 2014.[97][98]

For the first time in the region, in 2015 plug-in hybrids (95,140) outsold all-electric cars (89,640) in the passenger car segment,[69] however, when light-duty plug-in utility vehicles are accounted for, the all-electric segment totaled 97,687 registrations in 2015, up 65,199 in 2014, and ahead of the plug-in hybrid segment.[68] Also in 2015, the European market share of plug-in electric cars passed the 1% mark for the first time, with a 1.41% share of new car sales that year.[69] This trend continue during 2016. Since April 2016 plug-in hybrids have outsold all-electric cars, and the gap has continued to widen. Accounting for passenger plug-in car sales in Western Europe between January and July 2016, plug-in hybrids captured almost 54% of the region's plug-in market sales.[99] During 2016 the all-electric car segment ended with a market share of 0.57% of new car sales, while plug-in hybrids reached a market share of 0.73%.[100]

2016–2017

European sales of plug-in electric cars passed 200,000 units for the first time in 2016. The plug-in segment achieved a market share of 1.3% of total new car sales in 2016.[5] Norway was the top selling plug-in car country in Europe in 2016 with 45,492 plug-in cars and vans registered, followed by the UK with about 36,907 units, France with 33,774, Germany with 25,154, the Netherlands with 24,645, and Sweden with 13,454.[48] France was the top selling market in the light-duty all-electric segment with 27,307 units registered, up 23% from 2015.[70] The plug-in car segment of ten European countries achieved a market share of new car sales above 1%,[101] led by Norway with 29.1%,[48] followed by the Netherlands with 6.4%,[48] Sweden with 3.5%,[48] and Switzerland with 1.8%.[101]

The Renault Zoe has been the top selling plug-in electric car in Europe for two years in a row, 2016 and 2017.[71][70][102]

The Renault Zoe was the best-selling all-electric car in Europe in 2016 with 21,735 units delivered,[70][102] and also topped European sales in the broader plug-in electric car segment, ahead of the Outlander P-HEV, the top selling plug-in in the previous two years.[102] The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with 21,446 units sold was the second best-selling plug-in car,[102][103] followed by the Nissan Leaf with 18,718.[104] The Outlander PHEV has been Europe's best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle for four years in a row, from 2013 to 2016.[93] The top selling all-electric commercial van was the Nissan e-NV200 with 4,319 units registered.[105]

Registrations totaled 302,383 units in 2017, of which, 149,086 (49.3%) were all-electric cars and vans, and 153,297 (50.7%) were plug-in hybrid cars.[71][72] The segment market share achieved a record 1.74% in 2017.[73] Accounting for new registrations of plug-in passenger cars, Norway was Europe's top selling country in 2017 with 62,313 units, followed by Germany with 54,617, which more than doubled in 2017 and moved ahead of French and the British markets for the first time ever.[76] Ranking next were the UK with 47,298, France with 36,835, and Sweden with 19,678 units.[39] Norway also led the all-electric car segment with 33,025 new units registered, up 36.3% from 2016, and the UK led the plug-in hybrid car segment with 31,154 registrations, up 25.1% from 2016.[76]

In 2017, sales in the Netherlands fell by 51.7% from 2016 due to changes in tax rules, and as a result, it was overtook by both Sweden (+48.4%) and Belgium (+59.2%). Denmark was the only other significant plug-in car market with weaker sales in 2017, down 30.1% from 2017 with the fall also due to a change in taxes. In addition to Germany, plug-in car sales also doubled in Spain (+104.6%) and Portugal (+121.2%), and sales also increased sales significantly in Italy (+71.2%).[39][76]

Among all-electric cars, the top selling model was the Renault Zoe with 31,302 units, followed by the Nissan Leaf with 17,293.[71] Combined sales of BMW i3 pure electric and REx models totaled 20,855 units, making the i3 Europe's second best selling plug-in car in 2017 after the Zoe.[106] The best selling plug-in hybrids were the Outlander P-HEV with 19,189 units, the VW Passat GTE with 13,599 and the Mercedes Benz GLC 350e with 11,249.[106]

As of December 2017, the Mitsubishi Outlander P-HEV continues to rank as the all-time top selling plug-in electric car in the region with 100,097 units delivered since its launch in 2013,[94] followed by the Renault Zoe with 91,927 units,[71][70][107][108] the Nissan Leaf with 84,947 units,[71][68][104][109] The Renault Kangoo Z.E. is the all-time top selling all-electric utility van with 29,150 units sold through December 2017.[70][107][108]

2018–2019

The Tesla Model 3 was the best selling plug-in car in Europe in 2019, with over 95,000 units delivered in its first year in the market.[110]

Plug-in passenger car registrations totaled 558,649 units in 2019, up from 385,293 in 2018.[41] The plug-in segment market share rose form 2.5% in 2018 to 3.7% in 2019.[6][42] Registrations in 2019 consisted of 359,796 all-electric cars (64.4%) and 198,853 plug-in hybrid cars (35.6%).[41] Registrations of all-electric light-duty commercial vehicles totaled 28,704 in 2019, representing a market share of 1.2% of the segment new registrations, and was led by France with more than 8,000 units.[74]

The new long-range Nissan Leaf was the top selling plug-in car in Europe in 2018 with over 40,000 units registered,[111] and for the sixth consecutive year (2013-2018), the Mistubishi Outlander PHEV was best selling plug-in hybrid in Europe.[93][112]. Sales in 2018 were led by Norway with 72,689 new passenger car registrations, followed by Germany with 67,658 units.[42] During 2019 Germany, with 108,839 units registered, surpassed Norway (79,640) for the first time as the best selling country market in the European region.[41][6]

The Tesla Model 3, launched in the European market in February 2019, ranked as the best selling plug-in car in Europe in 2019, with over 95,000 units delivered in its first year in that market, and outselling other key premium models.[110] The Model 3 also set records in Norway and the Netherlands, listing in both countries not only as the top selling plug-in car but also as the best selling passenger car model in the overall market.[24][113]

The sales volume achieved by the Model 3 in 2019 (15,683) is the third largest in Norwegian history, exceeded only by the Volkswagen Bobla (Beetle) in 1969 (16,706), and Volkswagen Golf in 2015 (16,388).[114] The Model 3 set a new record in the Netherlands for the highest registrations in one month (22,137) for any single plug-in vehicle in Europe.[115]

Cumulative light-duty plug-in electric vehicle sales in Europe compared to the world's top-selling countries and regional markets as of December 2019. Europe is the world's second largest plug-in market.

2020

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, diesel and gasoline car sales in the European Union fell over 32% during the first quarter of 2020. Despite the overall decline caused by the outbreak, registrations of plug-in electric cars totaled 167,132 units across the EU, more than doubled (up 100.7%) compared to the same period in 2019.[17][116] When plug-in car sales are accounted for combined registrations in the EU, EFTA countries and the UK, registrations totaled 228,210 units, up 81.7% from the first quarter of 2019, consisting of 130,297 all-electric cars (up 58.2%) and 97,913 plug-in hybrids (up 126.5%).[17] In this quarter, the plug-in market share in the European Union reached 6.8%, and the whole continent achieved 7.47%.[17][75]

Plug-in electric car sales in Europe skipped the overall car market decline for a variety of reasons. The impacts of the electric car incentives introduced in Italy in 2019 began to take effect in the market; Germany increased electric car purchase subsidies in February; and 2020 is the target year of the European Union’s emissions standards, which limit average CO2 emissions per km driven of new car sales. As a result, in the first four months of 2020 plug-in car sales in the largest European car markets combined, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, were about 90% higher than in the same period the previous year.[116]

Norway

Main article: Plug-in electric vehicles in Norway
Registration of plug-in electric vehicles in Norway by year between 2004 and 2019. Includes plug-in hybrids, all-electric cars and vans, and used imports.[24][127][128][129][130][131][132]

Norway is the country with the largest electric vehicle ownership per capita in the world.[133][134][135] As of 31 March 2020, the Norwegian stock of light-duty plug-in electric vehicles totaled 390,367 registered units in use, consisting of 268,962 all-electric passenger cars and vans, and 121,405 plug-in hybrids.[4] As of December 2019, Norway listed as the European country with the largest stock of plug-in cars and vans, and the third largest in the world.[1] Norway was the top selling plug-in country market in Europe for three consecutive years, from 2016 to 2018.[48][56]

Historical evolution of the Norwegian plug-in electric car segment market share of new car sales and monthly records through March 2020 (Source:OFV)

The Norwegian plug-in electric vehicle market share of new car sales has been the highest in the world for several years, achieving 29.1% in 2016,[136][137] 39.2% in 2017, 49.1% in 2018,[127][128] and 55.9% in 2019.[24]

In March 2020, the combined market share of the plug-in car segment achieved a new record of 75.2% of new passenger car registrations, 55.9% for all-electric cars and 19.2% for plug-in hybrids, becoming the world's highest-ever monthly plug-in car market share attained in any country.[138][139]

The Norwegian fleet of plug-in electric cars is one of the cleanest in the world because 98% of the electricity generated in the country comes from hydropower.[140][141] In March 2014, Norway became the first country where one in every 100 registered passenger cars was a plug-in electric.[142] The plug-in car market penetration reached 5% at the end of 2016,[48] and, by October 2018, plug-in electric cars were 10% of all passenger cars on Norwegian roads.[143]

The Nissan Leaf, with 12,303 units registered in 2018, listed as the Norway's best selling new passenger car model, marking the first time an electric car topped annual sales of the passenger car segment in any country.[144][145] The following year, the Tesla Model 3 also topped annual passenger car sales, with 15,683 units registered.[146] The sales volume achieved by the Model 3 in 2019 is the third largest in Norwegian history, exceeded only by the Volkswagen Bobla (Beetle) in 1969 (16,706), and Volkswagen Golf in 2015 (16,388).[114] As of July 2020, the Leaf continues to be the all-time best selling plug-in electric car in Norway, with over 62,000 cumulative registrations since inception.[147]

Germany

Main article: Plug-in electric vehicles in Germany

As of December 2019, cumulative registrations in Germany totaled 305,787 plug-in electric passenger cars since 2010, consisting of 168,396 all-electric cars and 137,391 plug-in hybrids.[48][50][51][52] In addition, Germany had a stock of 21,890 light-duty electric commercial vehicles in 2019, the second largest in Europe after France.[1]

A total of 54,492 plug-in cars were registered in 2017, up 217% from 2016, and rose to 67,504 in 2018.[51] The plug-in car segment market share was 1.58% in 2017 and 1.9% in 2018.[50][51] The surge in sales that took place in 2017 allowed Germany to rank as Europe's second best selling market that year, and the country moved ahead of French and the British markets for the first time ever. Again in 2018, Germany ranked second after Norway.[76] With 108,839 plug-in passenger cars registered in 2019, Germany was the top selling country market in the European continent in 2019, with sales up 60.9% from 2018.[41] The plug-in car segment achieved a market share of 3.10% in 2019.[52]

The top selling models in 2017 were the Audi A3 e-tron (4,454), Renault Zoe (4,322), and BMW i3 (4,319).[153]

France

Main article: Plug-in electric vehicles in France
Annual registration of light-duty plug-in electric vehicles in France by type of vehicle between 2010 and 2019.[154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164]

As of February 2020, cumulative registrations of light-duty plug-in electric vehicles in France totaled 305,061 plug-in cars and electric utility vans delivered since 2010, consisting of 240,032 all-electric passenger cars and utility vans, and 65,029 plug-in hybrids.[53]

The market share of all-electric passenger cars increased from 0.30% of new car registered in 2012, to 0.59% in 2014.[165][155] After the introduction of the super-bonus for the scrappage of old diesel-power cars in 2015, sales of both pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids surged, rising the market share that year to 1.17%,[161][95] 1.40% in 2016,[155][163] and achieved a record market share of 2.11 % in 2018.[154]

As of December 2018, France is the European country with largest market for light-duty electric commercial vehicles or utility vans, with a stock of 41,340 units.[40] As of December 2015, nearly half of the vans sold in the European Union were sold in France as a result of a national purchase incentive scheme, which French companies have embraced.[166] The market share of all-electric utility vans reached a market share of 1.22% of new vans registered in 2014, 1.30% in 2015, and 1.77% in 2018.[154][167]

United Kingdom

Main article: Plug-in electric vehicles in the United Kingdom

About 298,000 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles had been registered in the UK up until April 2020, including about 8,800 plug-in commercial vans.[54] The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in the United Kingdom is actively supported by the British government through the plug-in car and van grants schemes and other incentives. Since the launch of the Plug-In Car Grant in January 2011, a total of 176,962 eligible cars have benefited with the government's subsidy through September 2018,[176] and, the number of claims made through the Plug-in Van Grant scheme, as of September 2018, totaled 5,218 units since the launch of the programme in 2012.[177]

A surge of plug-in car sales took place in Britain beginning in 2014. Total registrations went from 3,586 in 2013, to 37,092 in 2016, and rose to 59,911 in 2018.[171][173][174] The market share of the plug-in segment went from 0.16% in 2013 to 0.59% in 2014, and achieved 2.6% in 2018.[171][84][174]

As of September 2018, the Mitsubishi Outlander P-HEV is the all-time top selling plug-in car in the UK almost 37,000 units registered, followed by the Nissan Leaf nearly 24,000 units. Ranking third is the BMW 330e with more than 13,000 units, followed by the BMW i3 with 11,000 units.[54]

Netherlands

Main article: Plug-in electric vehicles in the Netherlands
Number of registered plug-in electric vehicles on the road in the Netherlands from 2011 to 2019.[55][83][178][179][180][181][182][183]

As of 31 March 2020, there were 218,501 highway-legal light-duty plug-in electric vehicles registered in the Netherlands, consisting of 116,148 pure electric cars, 97,553 plug-in hybrids, and 4,800 all-electric light utility vans. When buses (866), trucks (140), motorcycles (812), quadricycles and tricycles (1,446) are accounted for, the Dutch plug-in electric-drive fleet in use climbs to 221,765 units.[55]

A distinct feature of the Dutch plug-in market was the dominance of plug-in hybrids until 2016. PHEVs represented 67% of the country's stock of passenger plug-in electric cars and vans registered at the end of December 2018, down from 81% in 2017.[183] The shift to focus incentives on battery electric vehicles was due to a change in the tax rules in 2016 after it became apparent many users rarely charged their plug-in hybrids and only bought the cars for their tax advantage.[184]

The Netherlands listed as the world's third best-selling country market for light-duty plug-in vehicles in 2015,[95] however, plug-in sales fell sharply in 2016 due to changes in tax rules, and as a result, the Netherlands was surpassed by both Norway and France during 2016.[46][45] As a result of this change in the government incentives, the plug-in market share declined from 9.9% in 2015, to 6.7% in 2016, and fell to 2.6% in 2017.[183] The intake rate rose to 6.5% in 2018 due to another change in tax rules from January 2019.[183] As of July 2016, the Netherlands had the second largest plug-in market concentration per capita in the world after Norway.[185]

Sweden

Plug-in electric vehicle annual registrations in Sweden between 2011 and 2019.[86][124][186][187][188][189][190][191][192]

As of December 2019, a total of 121,626 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles have been registered since 2011, consisting of 82,780 plug-in hybrids, 34,902 all-electric cars and 3,944 all-electric utility vans.[86][124][186][187][188][191][192] The Swedish plug-in electric market is dominated by plug-in hybrids, representing 72.4% of the Swedish light-duty plug-in electric vehicle registrations through December 2017, and 75.1% through 2018.[187][86][124][188][189][190][191][192]

Sweden has ranked among the world's top ten best-selling plug-in markets for two years running, 2015 and 2016, listed in both years as the ninth largest country market.[48][95] As of December 2016, the Swedish stock of plug-in cars and vans is the sixth largest in Europe.[48] The plug-in passenger car segment had a record market share of 5.2% of new registrations in 2017,[192] and achieved a record of 8.2% in 2018.[187]

In September 2011 the Swedish government approved a 200 million kr program, effective starting in January 2012, to provide a subsidy of 40,000 kr per car for the purchase of 5,000 electric cars and other "super green cars" with ultra-low carbon emissions, defined as those with emissions below 50 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per km.[193] After renewing appropriations for the super green car rebate several times, from 2016, only zero emissions cars are entitled to receive the full premium, while other super green cars, plug-in hybrids, receive half premium.[194] Registrations of super clean cars increased five-fold in July 2014 driven by the end of the quota of 5,000 new cars eligible for the super clean car subsidy.[195][196][197]
