Global top-selling light-duty plug-in electric vehicle regional or country markets as of December2021Comparison of plug-in electric car ownership per capita in selected top selling countries and regional markets as plug-in cars per 1,000 people, as of December2021
Electric car use by country varies worldwide, as the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles is affected by consumer demand, market prices, availability of charging infrastructure, and government policies, such as purchase incentives and long term regulatory signals (ZEV mandates, CO2 emissions regulations, fuel economy standards, and phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles).[1]
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are generally divided into all-electric or battery electric vehicles (BEVs), that run only on batteries, and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), that combine battery power with internal combustion engines. The popularity of electric vehicles has been expanding rapidly due to government subsidies, improving charging infrastructure, their increasing range and lower battery costs, and environmental sensitivity. However, the stock of plug-in electric cars represented just 1% of all passengers vehicles on the world's roads by the end of 2020, of which pure electrics constituted two-thirds.[2]
Global cumulative sales of highway-legal light-duty plug-in electric vehicles reached 1million units in September 2015,[3] 5million in December 2018,[4] and passed the 10million milestone in 2020.[5] By mid-2022, there were over 20million light-duty plug-in vehicles on the world's roads.[6] Sales of plug-in passenger cars achieved a 9% global market share of new car sales in 2021, up from 4.6% in 2020, and 2.5% in 2019.[2][7][8] The PEV market has been shifting towards fully electric battery vehicles. The global ratio between BEVs and PHEVs went from 56:44 in 2012, to 60:40 in 2015, and rose to 74:26 in 2019.[9][10] The ratio was to 71:29 in 2021.[11]
As of December2023[update], China had the largest stock of highway legal plug-in passenger cars with 20.4million units, almost half of the global fleet in use.[12] China also dominates the plug-in light commercial vehicle and electric bus deployment, with its stock reaching over 500,000 buses in 2019, 98% of the global stock, and 247,500 electric light commercial vehicles, 65% of the global fleet.[1]
Europe had about 11.8million plug-in passenger cars at the end of 2023, accounting for around 30% of the global stock.[13][14] Europe also has the world's second largest electric light commercial vehicle stock, with about 290,000 vans.[13][1][15]As of December2023[update], cumulative sales in the United States totaled 4.74million plug-in cars since 2010,[16] with California listed as the largest U.S. plug-in regional market with 1.77million plug-in cars sold by 2023.[17]
As of December2021[update], Germany is the leading European country with 1.38million plug-in cars registered since 2010.[18][19] Norway has the highest market penetration per capita in the world,[20] and also has the world's largest plug-in segment market share of new car sales, 86.2% in 2021.[21] Over 10% of all passenger cars on Norwegian roads were plug-ins in October 2018, and rose to 22% in 2021.[22][23] The Netherlands has the highest density of EV charging stations in the world by 2019.[24]
In 2023, 83% of the new car sales were electric in Nepal. Nepal leads the Asian market in terms of EV adoption.[25]
History
Evolution of the ratio between global sales of BEVs and PHEVs from 2011 to 2023
The global stock of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) between 2005 and 2009 consisted exclusively of all-electric cars (BEV), totaling about 1,700 units in 2005, and almost 6,000 in 2009. The plug-in stock rose to about 12,500 units in 2010, of which 350 were plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).[29][30] By comparison, during the Golden Age of the electric car at the beginning of the 20th century, the EV stock peaked at approximately 30,000 vehicles.[31] After the introduction of the Think City, Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt in late December 2010, the first mass-production plug-in electric cars by major manufacturers, plug-in sales grew to about 50,000 units in 2011, to 125,000 in 2012, and almost 213,000 cars and utility vans in 2013. Sales totaled over 315,000 units in 2014, up 48% from 2013.[32] In March 2014, Norway became the first country where over 1 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads was a plug-in,[33] and, by October 2018, 1 in every 10 passenger cars registered in Norway was a plug-in.[22]
In five years, global sales of highway legal light-duty plug-in vehicles increased more than ten-fold, totaling more than 565,000 units in 2015—an 80% increase from 2014, driven mainly by China and Europe.[32] About 775,000 plug-in electric cars and vans were sold in 2016, and 1.22million in 2017—up 57% from 2016—with China accounting for about half of global sales.[34][35][36] The global market share of the new light-duty plug-in segment reached 1.3% in 2017, up from 0.86% in 2016, and 0.38% in 2014.[37][38] Global light-duty plug-in vehicle sales passed the 3million milestone in November 2017[39] and 5million at the end 2018.[4] Global sales totaled 2,018,247 plug-in passenger cars in 2018, up 72% from 2017, with a market share of 2.1%.[8] The BEV:PHEV ratio rose to 69:31 in 2018 and to 74:26 in 2019.[9][8] By the end of 2019 the stock of light-duty plug-in vehicles totaled about 7.5million units.[40] Worldwide sales in 2019 rose to 2,209,831 units with a global market share of 2.5%.[9] The combined number of PEV and hybrid cars sold in the European Union hit a record in July 2020, accounting for 18% of the total number of passenger cars sold. It also was the first time that more than 200,000 electric cars were sold in a single month.[41]

Albania
Albania is considered one of the best countries for emissions for electric cars as it generates all of its electricity from hydroelectric power.[239][240] Electric cars are currently used by the Albanian Police Force.[241] The Interior Minister claimed, that the cost of fuel per 100km (62mi) would be less than 120 Albanian leke (less than 1 euro).[241] Saytaxi is the first taxi company in Albania that offers electric vehicles and operates a fast EV (electric vehicles) charging point, and have been operating in the country since 2014. Its goal is to replace 80% of all non-electric cars with electric in the taxi business.[242]
On 31 October 2017, Tirana became one of the few European capital cities to use electric buses when they tested a Solaris Urbino 12, with the purpose of reducing pollution.[243] Tirana's goal is to gradually convert 10 to 20 percent of the bus fleet into electric ones.[243]
The total stock of electric vehicles in Australia is approximately 21,000 as of 2020.[244] In May 2021, electric vehicles accounted for 2% of new car sales in Australia, with approximately 5,000 Tesla vehicles sold in the first half of 2021.[212] However, it has been predicted that approximately 66% of Australians will be driving electric cars by 2030.[245] Moreover, 56% of Australians would consider an electric car when they next bought a vehicle.[246] In early 2020, electric vehicle registrations nearly doubled the registrations of the previous year, showing the rapidly increasing popularity of electric vehicles in Australia.[247] The Tesla Model 3 is Australia's most popular electric vehicle accounting for 70% of EV sales in 2019.[248][249][250][251]
The Labor-led opposition government in Australia in 2019 proposed a 50% electric vehicle target by 2030.[252] Government analysis in 2019 also forecasted 50% of all new cars sold in Australia by 2035 will be electric on the current path.[253]
The state of Victoria is Australia's most important electric vehicle market with the highest number of electric vehicle purchases in Australia between 2011 and 2017 with a total of 1,324 car sales.[254] Victoria also manufactures electric vehicles with a commercial electric vehicle manufacturing facility to be established in 2021, producing 2,400 vehicles per year.[255]
Despite no federal EV sales target, Victoria aim for 50% of new car sales to be electric vehicles by 2030.[258] The South Australian government also aim for 100% of new car sales to be electric vehicles by 2035.[259] The NSW Government is also considering an official ban date for the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles.[260]
Nationally, fuel efficient vehicles attract less Luxury Car Tax, leading to a saving of up to $2,648.[261] Victoria offers a subsidy of $3,000 – $5,000[262][258] for BEV cars under $68,740.[263] ACT offers $15,000 interest free loan[264] Victorian EV drivers pay a reduced rate of stamp duty and $100 off registration fees[265] In ACT BEVs stamp duty exempt and 20% reduction in registration fees[266] with the first 2 years of registration free[264] EVs exempt from stamp duty until 2023[267] In Tasmania Car rental companies are exempt from registration fees on new and used EVs[267]
The Federal Government pledged to spend $74.5million on charging infrastructure in the budget in 2021.[214] The Federal Government is also contributing $15million to a national electric vehicle charging network built by Evie Networks and connecting Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane.[268]
Sales of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 1677 in 2015 to 6764 in 2018. At the first half of 2019, 4913 new BEV were sold, representing 2.8% of the overall sales.[269]

The Belgian government established purchase incentives for BEVs, ending in 2012.[271] Hybrids were not eligible.[272][273][274] A separate subsidy supported investments in public charging stations.[272]
As of September2015[update], 2,214 hybrid and electric vehicles were registered in the state of São Paulo[275] In March 2013, the first two Leafs were deployed in Rio de Janeiro to operate as taxis.[276] In September 2014 the BMW i3 became the first EV available for retail customers. As of June2016[update], other retail plug-ins were the BMW i8 and the Mitsubishi Outlander P-HEV.[277]
Plug-ins and hybrids are subject to taxes adding up to more than 120% of the retail price.[278][279][280]
In April 2018, the city of São José dos Campos ordered 30 electric BYD vehicles for use by the police and government.[282]
In March 2019, Renault released the Zoe in Brazil, and, in April 2019, Jac released the E40 as the cheapest electric car in Brazil, at R$129.990, Nissan announced the Leaf to be released in Brazil in the first half of 2019

The government does not provide grants for buying electric cars, but at least it does not apply road tax to them. Parking electric vehicles in central urban parking zones is free of charge as well.
The stock of plug-in electric passenger cars in Canada in use totaled 141,100 units at the end of 2019, consisting of 78,680 all-electric cars and 62,380 plug-in hybrids.[1]
In October 2016, Quebec passed legislation that obliges major carmakers to offer an increasing number of PHEV and BEV models, beginning with 3.5% in 2018 and rising to 15.5% in 2020, using a tradable credit system.
Canada had the second largest plug-in electric passenger car market share in the Americas in 2023
The Wuling Hongguang Mini EV all-electric car listed as the best selling plug-in car in China in 2021
As of December2023[update], China had the world's largest stock of highway legal plug-in passenger cars with 20.41million units, corresponding to almost half of the global plug-in car fleet in use. Of these, all-electric cars accounted for 76% of the all new energy passenger cars in circulation.[12] The plug-in car segment achieved a record 37% market share in 2023, of which, the all-electrics had an uptake of 25%.[300] Plug-in passenger cars represented 6% of all cars on Chinese roads at the end of 2023.[12]
Domestically produced cars dominate new energy car sales in Mainland China, accounting for about 96% of sales in 2017.[35][301] Another particular feature of the Chinese passenger plug-in market is the dominance of small entry level vehicles.[302]
As of 2019[update], China also dominated the plug-in light commercial vehicle and electric bus deployment, with its stock reaching over 500,000 buses in 2019, 98% of the global stock, and 247,500 electric light commercial vehicles, 65% of the global fleet. In addition, the country also leads sales of medium- and heavy duty electric trucks, with over 12,000 trucks sold, and nearly all battery electric.[1] Since 2011, cumulative sales of all classes of new energy vehicles (NEV) totaled 7.4million at the end of September 2021.[82][35][147][303][83][304][305]
Chile
Mitsubishi i-MiEV in Chile
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV[306][307] was the first EV in Chile. The first public quick charging station was opened in April 2011.[308]
In August 2014 Mitsubishi replaced the i-Miev with the Outlander PHEV.[citation needed] Later that year BMW introduced their "i" range with the i3;[citation needed] Renault launched their Zero Emission (Z.E.) lineup, including the Fluence Z.E. sedan, the Kangoo utility van and Zoe city car. The French brand sold 22 electric vehicles in their first month in the Chilean market.[citation needed]
Latin America's first battery electric taxi fleet of 45 vehicles was launched at the beginning of 2013 in Bogotá, the largest electric taxi fleet in South America at the time.[309] These taxis were exempted from the Pico y placa driving restriction scheme. The program is an effort to improve air quality and set an example.[310][311][312]
The BMW i3 was introduced in Colombia in 2014. The BEV Renault Twizyquadricycle was introduced in the Colombian market in June 2015[313] and, as of October2015[update], 203 Twizys had been sold.[314] Sales of the Outlander P-HEV were scheduled to begin in September 2015.[315] Sales of other electric vehicles totaled, as of June2015[update], 35 Mitsubishi i-MiEVs (purchased by an electricity company), 25 BMW i3s, 19 Renault Kangoos (corporate purchases), and 4 Nissan Leafs (corporate purchases).[315]
In 2013 the government established incentives to promote EV adoption. These include the exemption from the driving restriction scheme in place in Colombian cities such as Bogotá and Medellín. The government exempted BEV and PHEV cars from import duties for three years, with an annual quota of 750 cars of each type.[315]
Costa Rica
Costa Rica led the market share of the plug-in electric passenger car segment in the Americas in 2023.Fully electric BMW i3 with special green plates issued in Costa Rica for battery electric vehicles
As of December2023[update], Costa Rica had a stock of 9,345 light-duty all-electric vehicles. In addition, the country had a stock of 1,243 all-electric motorcycles.[316] Registrations of light duty all-electric vehicles totaled 6,312 units in 2023, more than doubling cumulative sales since 2010.[317] The all-electric market share achieved a record 11.6% of all new car sales in 2023, up from 7.3% in 2022, and ranking as the highest in the Americas.[198]
The fleet of fully electric passenger cars grew from 94 units in 2010 to 183 in 2017. After the approval of the 2018 law that granted import duty and value added tax exemptions, the fleet grew from 377 units in 2018, to 1,446 in 2020, and reached 8,963 all-electric cars registered by the end of 2023.[316]Plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrid electric vehicles do not have government financial incentives, therefore they are not included in this statistical data.
The first electric car to go on sale in the country was the REVAi, introduced in March 2009. The REVAi, powered by lead–acid batteries, sold 10 units.[318] The Mitsubishi i MiEV was launched in February 2011, with initial availability limited to 25 to 50 units.[319][320][321] According to Mitsubishi, Costa Rica was selected at the first market launch in the Americas due to its environmental record, despite the lack of government incentives for purchasing electric cars.[321][322] The top selling model in 2016 was the Mitsubishi Outlander P-HEV with 60 units.[323]
Other all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars introduced early in Costa Rica include the BYD Qin (November 2013),[324][325] Mitsubishi Outlander (March 2015)[326] and BMW i3 (September 2016).[327]As of January2024[update], over 50 all-electric models are offered in the Costa Rican market, mainly from Chinese and European carmakers.[316]
Government incentives
All-electric buses on trial as part of a pilot project in Costa Rica
In 2006 electric cars were exempted from the consumption tax, while conventional vehicles faced a 30% rate. In October 2012, electric cars were exempted from San José's driving restrictions.[328] EVs were exempted from import duties and the government agreed to deploy charging stations in strategic locations in San José.[329]
In January 2018, the "Law for the Promotion of Electric Transportation" went into effect, which promotes the adoption of electric vehicles through the implementation of incentives and tax exemptions when purchasing an all-electric car. The law grants exemption from three taxes: value added, selective consumption and import duties, 100% for electric vehicles price at US$30,000CIF, and the exempted percentage is reduced gradually as the value goes up, with a cap of US$60,000. Electric vehicles are also exempt from the annual circulation fee, which phases out by 20% each year during a five-year period.[330] The price cap was removed in 2022 and each of the tax exemptions gradually decreases over a period of 12 years until all phase out.
Croatia
As of December2016[update], 2067 electric cars had been sold in Croatia.[331][332] Of these, 224 were EVs, while the rest were hybrids.[331]As of September2017[update], 201 free public charging stations operated in Croatia.[331]
In 2014 and 2015, the Croatian government initiated purchase incentives.[333][334] The subsidies were discontinued in 2016, due to ineffectiveness.[331][needs update]
Sales of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 298 in 2015 to 703 in 2018. At the first half of 2019, 360 new BEV were sold, representing 0.3% of the overall sales.[269]

In the late 1980s to early 1990s, a few thousand of the small, one-person and locally produced Ellert were sold in Denmark, but relatively few remain today.[335] In the following decade, very few electric cars were sold in Denmark, but a clear increase began around 2010.[336] In 2015, Denmark was the second largest European market for light-duty, plug-in commercial vehicles or utility vans, with over 2,600 plug-in vans sold that year, representing 8.5% of all vans sold. Most vans were plug-in hybrids, accounting for almost all EU plug-in van sales.[337]
Up to and including 2015, electric cars had been exempt from vehicle registration tax, but it was decided that this would be gradually outphased: In 2016, the vehicle registration tax for electric cars was placed at 20% of the normal rate, in 2017 it was planned to increase to 40% and within five years it would become the full rate. This had a large effect on the sale, which drastically fell in 2016–17.[338] As a consequence, it was decided that the increase in vehicle registration tax for electric vehicles would be delayed, being capped at 20% of the normal rate in 2017–19, then gradually increasing until 2023 where it would become the full rate. A new fund for fuel cell vehicles was also started.[339]
In 2020, a new taxation deal was reached, valid for all cars from 2021 to 2030. Its rates depend heavily on the CO2-emission of the car. This means that vehicle registration tax for all-electric cars (BEVs) that cost less than 510,000 DKK (€68,500) will remain very low with a slower than initially planned gradual increase to normal levels, most plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) will increase from 2021 but remain lower than gasoline and diesel cars, and diesel cars will increase. The goal of this plan is to have at least 775,000 electric cars (BEV or PHEV) by 2030. Combined with other plans, it is the goal to have at least 1 million zero-emission or low-emission cars by 2030 and that no new gasoline or diesel cars will be sold in the country from that year.[340][341]
As of 31December2021[update], there were a total of 2,781,855 registered cars in Denmark, of which more than 5%, or 144,498, are electric (BEV or PHEV).[342]

Estonia was the first country to deploy an EV charging network with nationwide coverage, with fast chargers available along highways at a maximum distance of 40 to 60km (25 to 37mi).[346][347]As of December2012[update], the nationwide network consisted of 165 fast chargers.[348][349][350]
In 2011, the government confirmed the sale to Mitsubishi of 10 million carbon dioxide credits in exchange for 507 i-MiEV electric cars. The deal included funding 250 fast charging stations and subsidies for the first 500 private buyers of any electric approved by the EU.[351][352] The first 50 i-MiEVs were delivered in October 2011, for use by municipal social workers.[353][354][355][356]
Sales of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 34 in 2015 to 85 in 2018, after a stagnation in 2016 and 2017. At the first half of 2019, 42 new BEV were sold, representing 0.2% of the overall sales.[269]

Estonia's figures are low compared to other advanced economies, attributed to lack of government incentives after the carbon credit scheme was exhausted.[357]
Ecuador
The offer and demand for electric vehicles in the South American nation is reduced. Electric charging stations are present in several shopping malls and public parking in Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca, Ambato and Loja.
In Ecuador, all electric vehicles are exempt from customs duties and taxes starting in June 2019. The electric vehicle offer in the country is set to increase. The Ecuadorean government has been incentivizing the us of electric vehicles with tax cuts. However, both the offer and demand remained short, encouraging the government to eliminate all duties to electric vehicles.
The first commercially available EV was Kia Soul EV 2016. Being at the moment the brand with the most presence of EV in Ecuador. As of 2021 KIA, BYD and Nissan are among the EV brands offering vehicles for the Ecuadorian market.
The 27 Member States of the European Union had 2.24million plug-in vehicles on the road in 2020, of which plug-in passenger cars represented 94.3%, followed by light commercial vehicles (5.4%), and buses and trucks accounted for 0.3% and 0.03% respectively.[358] In 2020, and despite the strong decline in global car sales brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, annual sales of plug-in passenger cars in Europe surpassed the 1million mark for the first time.[65][66] In addition, Europe outsold China in 2020 as the world's largest plug-in passenger car market for the first time since 2015.[359][360] In spite of the continued global decline in car sales in 2021 due to the shortages related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the global computer chip shortage, plug-in car sales rose to 2.27million, up 66% from 2020.[133]
The plug-in car segment had a market share of 1.3% of new car registrations in 2016, rose to 3.6% in 2019, climbed to 11.4% in 2020, and achieved 19% in 2021.[133][190][361][362]As of December2021[update], Germany has the largest stock of plug-ins in Europe, with cumulative sales of 1.38million plug-in cars registered since 2010,[18][19] followed by France (786,274),[97] the UK (≈745,000),[103] Norway (647,000),[109] and the Netherlands (360,000).[363] Germany listed as the top selling European country market since 2019.[1][66]
As of October2016[update], about 2,250 EVs were registered.[364] Sales of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 243 in 2015 to 776 in 2018. At the first half of 2019, 995 new BEV were sold, representing 1.7% of the overall sales.[269]
Total of new battery electric vehicles registered per year
In November 2016, the government set the goal of 250,000 plug-in cars and 50,000 biogas cars on the road by 2030.[364] These goals are part of the Finnish government efforts to comply with the 2015 Paris Agreement.[364]
Basic charging infrastructure is available all over Finland, used for winter engine pre-warming. Because of its climate – cold winters and warm summers – Finland is considered a convenient "test laboratory" for electric cars.
Many companies in Finland are involved in next-generation vehicle manufacturing, including Valmet Automotive,[366]Fortum (concept cars and infrastructure), Vacon (electric motor technology production), Ensto (production of charging units), Elcat (electric vehicle production since the 1980s), Raceabout[367] (specialist electric sport car with very few sales).
Electric car organizations in Finland include the Electric Vehicle Association of Finland and Electric Vehicles Finland. A non-commercial electric car conversion organization is called Electric Cars – Now![369] that converts Toyota Corollas into Li-ion battery-powered electric cars.
Registration of light-duty plug-in vehicles in France by type of vehicle between 2010 and 2021

The Renault Zoe has led electric car sales in France since 2013, and is the country's all-time best selling plug-in with more than 100,000 units registered through June 2020.
A record of 315,978 light-duty plug-in vehicles were registered in 2021, up 62% from 2020, and the light-duty segment's market share rose to 15.1% in 2021.[97] The plug-in electric passenger car segment achieved a market share of 18.3% in 2021.[182]
Annual registration of plug-in cars in Germany by type of vehicle between 2010 and 2021
The stock of plug-in electric vehicles in Germany is the largest in Europe; there were 1,184,416 plug-in cars in circulation on 1 January 2022, representing 2.5% of all passenger cars on German roads, up from 1.2% the previous year.[371][372]As of December2021[update], cumulative sales totaled 1.38million plug-in passenger cars since 2010.[18][19] Germany had a stock of 21,890 light-duty electric commercial vehicles in 2019, the second largest in Europe after France.[1]As of March2020[update], the country had 27,730 public charging stations.[373]
Germany listed as the top selling plug-in car market in the European continent in 2019 and achieved a market share of 3.10%.[135][96] Despite the global decline in car sales brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the segment market share achieved a record 13.6% in 2020.[93] with a record volume of 394,632 plug-in passenger cars registered in 2020, up 263% from 2019, Germany listed for a second year running as the best selling European plug-in market.[98][93] Both years, the German market led both the fully electric and plug-in hybrid segments.[98] The only country that outsold Germany in 2020 was China.[359] Sales in 2021 surged to 681,410 rechargeable units, capturing a record market share of 26.0%.[19]
The Smart electric drive led the plug-in electric car segment in Germany until 2013.
Under its National Platform for Electric Mobility, ChancellorAngela Merkel in 2010 set the goal of putting one million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020.[375][376] Initially, the government did not provide subsidies in favor of research.[375] The Bundestag passed the Electric Mobility Act in March 2015 that authorized local government to grant non-monetary incentives. The measures privilege battery-powered cars, fuel cell vehicles and some PHEVs, by granting local governments the authority to offer additional incentives.[377][378][379][380]
An incentive scheme was approved in April 2016 including purchase subsidies, charging stations and another federal government fleet purchases, with a target of 400,000 electric vehicles. Premium cars, such as the Tesla Model S and BMW i8, were not eligible.[381][382][383] To meet the climate targets for the transport sector, in 2016 the government set the goal to have from 7 to 10million plug-in electric cars on the road by 2030, and 1million charging points available in Germany also by 2030.[384]
As a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government approved in June 2020 an economic recovery plan which included €8 billion to promote electric vehicle adoption and deployment of charging infrastructure.[385] The purchase bonus for electric cars was raised from €6,000 to €9,000 up until the end of 2021, the highest economic incentive in any European country, but the subsidy is available only for cars costing less than €40,000. Also, other tax incentives for electric vehicles were introduced since 2020.[384][385] Later, the government decided to keep the €9,000 bonus for the purchase of new all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids until the end of 2025.[386] The original one million goal was achieved in July 2021.[387]
Sales of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 35 in 2015 to 190 in 2019.[269] At the first three-quarters of 2020, 292 new BEVs and 590 new PHEVs were sold.[388]

In June 2020, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the government's plan to support the adoption of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) by individuals and corporations, with the aim for one-in-three new vehicles in Greece to be electric by 2030. The plan includes purchase subsidizing, exemption from the road tax and any parking fees, as well as incentives for setting up charging stations, for pure electric private passenger cars and motorbikes, as well as for pure electric or plug-in hybrid taxis and light commercial vehicles. The government's subsidy covers the purchase of new BEVs and PHEVs with a total of 100 million euros for 18 months in the first phase, which is estimated to cover 25% of the cost of about 14.000 new electric vehicles.[390][391][392]
The government will subsidize the purchase of each new electric vehicle, covering 15% of its cost (up to €5.500) for private passenger and light commercial vehicles, 20% of the cost (up to €800) for motorbikes and 25% of the cost (up to €8.000) for taxis. Vehicle owners that will concurrently retire their old vehicle will receive an additional bonus of up to €2.500.[393] Furthermore, expenses for charging the electric car will be exempt from taxable income. The benefit for each new electric car, if combined with the ecological bonus and the relevant tax exemptions, will approach 10.000 euros.[390][391][392]
As of June2023[update] the total is 60,943 EVs. At present, 240 EV models from 16 economies have been type-approved by the Transport Department. These include 187 models for private cars and motorcycles and 53 models for public transport and commercial vehicles.[394]
As of December 2017, 10,666 plug-in vehicles were registered in Hong Kong.[395] March 2017 saw 2,964 EVs registered in one month before first registration tax exemption was repealed. 2,939 of these cars were Tesla Model S and X.
As of September2016[update], 6,298 plug-in vehicles were on the roads in Hong Kong,[396] up from 3,253 in October 2015.[397] The plug-in segment market share achieved 4.8% of new car sales in Hong Kong in 2015.[396]
Sales of electric cars took off in Hong Kong with the Tesla Model S in 2014.[398][399] The tax waiver made the Model S competitive in the luxury car segment, at about half the price of other high-end models.[398] According to Tesla, as of September2016[update], Hong Kong had the world's highest density of Tesla superchargers, giving most Model S owners a supercharger within a 20-minute drive.[400]
The Government offered purchase incentives to consumers, businesses and service providers were available from 2011 to 2017. The Government further allocated HK$180 million for bus companies to purchase 36 electric buses.[397]
In November 2018, 8,482 PEVs were registered in Hungary. The Hungarian government introduced its e-mobility plan in March 2014. The Jedlik plan supported the domestic production of electric vehicles, expanding the necessary infrastructure and promoting the purchase of EVs with public incentives,[401] including 1.5million HUF, initiated at the end of 2016.
Sales of new passenger cars categorized as battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 115 in 2015 to 4837 in 2020.[269]

The plug-in car segment in Iceland reached 5.37% of all new vehicles registered in 2016, allowing the country to rank second in Europe after Norway that year.[402] Registrations of new plug-in electric cars totaled 2,990 units in 2017, up 157% from the previous year. The segment's market share achieved a record 14%, globally, second only to Norway.[403] The top selling plug-ins in 2017 were the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with 884 units and the Nissan Leaf with 524.[403] In 2018, 284 new BEV units were sold and 423 in the first half of 2019, representing 5.8% of the overall new cars sales.[269]
The government eliminated VAT (24%) and CO2-based fees (up to 65%) on new car purchases for EVs.[when?][404]
As of 2017[update], Orka Náttúrunnar (ON) was working to complete a network of 50kW CCS Combo/CHAdeMO stations along the Ring Road. Tesla opened its first supercharger in Reykjavík in December 2019, with 4 more planned around Iceland in 2020.[405]
Tesla started delivery in Iceland on 28 February 2020 and was quickly the number 1 new electric car sold in Iceland.[406]As of March 2020[update] passenger plug-in market share of total new car sales for the year 2020 has reached 55%.
As of March2022[update], over 28000 plug-in cars were registered until Mar 2022 out of a total of 1 million registered electric vehicles (including 2 and 3 wheelers and commercial 4 wheelers). The Indian government has Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles (FAME) scheme which provides incentives for purchasing electric vehicles.[407][408][clarification needed] Indian government has reduced GST rate on EVs from 12% to 5% in the Union Budget 2019 to encourage electric vehicles. The Indian government gives an additional tax benefit of Rs 150,000 on the interest paid on loans taken to buy EVs.[409][410] The EVs in India are exempted from paying road tax for vehicle registration.[411]
The number of electric vehicles in India is 13,34,385 (excluding data of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Lakshadweep, which is not available in VAHAN 4) as on 14 July 2022 and a total of 2,826 public charging stations are operational in the country, as per the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.[412]
The government supported some trial models made by Tucuxi. Conversion of some vehicles to electric drivetrains was introduced during the APEC Meeting in October 2013. In 2019, Hyundai sold officially car,Hyundai Ioniq. In 2022, the local production for Hyundai Ioniq 5 is started. Also Wuling Motors sold the most affordable electric car in Indonesia, named Wuling Air EV.
Electric car sales rose to 15,437 units in 2022, up almost fourfold from 2021.[413]

The government committed to making 10% of all vehicles by 2020 (a projected 230,000 vehicles).[415] Government officials reached agreements with French car maker Renault and its partner Nissan. As of September2014[update], purchase incentives became available.[416]
As of the start of 2020, Electric Vehicles (EVs) was as a proportion of all cars for sale in Ireland very small, which could be seen in a snapshot (7 February 2020) of four different car sales websites (Autotrader.ie, Carsireland.ie, Carzone.ie, and Donedeal.ie) which showed that out of circa 38,000 to 70,000 cars listed for sale, only circa 0.7% to 1.1% were EV's, so in real terms only 431–616 EV cars were advertised for sale in the market.
This very low level of EVs compared poorly to the circa 25,338 to 46,940 diesel cars shown available for sale on the same date, representing a much larger, circa 64–67% of the market at that time.
The Irish Government (to January 2020) had stated an aim to ban the sale of petrol, diesel and hybrid new ('non-electric') cars from 2030 (compared to the proposed EU ban by 2040, and the UK's proposed ban on the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars from 2035 as announced in the first week of February 2020) though car dealers were reported in 2020 to consider the Irish Government's target for one million electric and plug-in hybrid cars to be in use by 2030, as far too ambitious, though Government grants of up to €10,000 also available (as of 2020)(The Irish Times, 7 February 2020). It was also reported (The Irish Times, 7 February 2020) in the Irish newspapers in February 2020 that there were at that time about 1,200 electric car (EV) charging points in Ireland, but that this was compared to Norway, the European leader in EV transition, with approximately 12,000 charging stations for circa 300,000 EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).
A compromise in terms of transition and non-electric ban implementation around 2030 maybe for acceptance also of Hybrid cars with smaller conventional petrol engines (regardless of whether the vehicles are 'full' or 'mild' hybrids) of for example at/ less than 1.6-liter (1600cc) capacity, and/ or say less circa 100g/km CO2 or less in terms of emissions, or a good fuel efficiency rating (L/100km ) for highway/extra urban and 'combined' journeys.

As of December2020[update], almost 100,000 plug-in passenger cars were registered in Italy, consisting of 55,307 BEV cars and 44,231 PHEVs.[417] In addition, there were 6,315 light-duty commercial vehicles.[417] At the end of 2020, plug-in passenger cars represented just 0.3% of all cars on Italian roads.[417]
The top EV in 2015 was the Nissan Leaf (390 units sold).[418] About 10,000 electric vehicles[419] were sold in Italy in 2018, double the 2017 number of about 5,000.[420]
Sales of new battery electric vehicles (BEV) rose from 1442 in 2015 to 4996 in 2018. At the first half of 2019, 5040 new BEV were sold, representing 0.5% of the overall sales.[269]

The government discontinued incentives in 2014 amid a limited public charging infrastructure and tepid reception. Further, many Italian houses were equipped with electric contracts allowing only 3kW of peak consumption, making home charging of electric cars impractical.[421][422][423]
Since 2021 the EV market share in Italy has stagnated: while in 2021 BEVs were 4.6% of total market share the number dwindled to 3.8% in 2022. Italy lags behind most of the other Western European countries in terms of EV market size and number of EVs per capita.[424]
The Nissan Leaf is the top selling plug-in car in Japan ever, with close to 140,000 units sold by February 2020.
As of December2020[update], Japan had a stock of plug-in passenger cars of 293,081 units on the road, consisting of 156,381 all-electric cars and 136,700 plug-in hybrids.[426] The fleet of electric light commercial vehicles in use totaled 9,904 units in 2020.[426]
Sales totaled 24,690 units in 2016, rose to 54,100 in 2017, and then declined to 49,750 in 2018, and fell to 38,900 in 2019.[1] The segment market share declined from 0.68% in 2014 to 0.59% in 2016, and recovered to 1.1% in 2017.[1][222][221] The decline in plug-in sales reflects the governmental and domestic carmaker decision to promote hydrogenfuel cell vehicles instead.[427][428] The market share further fell to 0.7% in 2019 and 0.6% in 2020.[426]
In May 2009 the Japanese Diet passed the "Green Vehicle Purchasing Promotion Measure".[429] The program provided purchasing subsidies for cars, mini and keis, trucks and buses, including an extra subsidy for purchases trading in a sufficiently old used car.[429][430] The program ended on 31 March 2010.[431][432] The Japanese electric vehicle charging infrastructure climbed from 60 public stations in 2010 to 1,381 in 2012.[433]
The Leaf is Japan's all-time bestselling plug-in car, with about 140,000 units delivered by February 2020.[425] Prius PHEV sales since inception totaled about 61,200 units up to December 2018.[441][129]As of March2018[update], the Outlander PHEV had sold 42,451 units.[442] Sales of the Outlander PHEV fell sharply from April 2016 as a result of Mitsubishi's fuel economy scandal.[443]
Kosovo
There have not been much effort in by Kosovo of using Plug-in electric vehicles. However ProCredit Bank, Kosova, became the first institution in Kosovo to use electric vehicles, by buying 10 new Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles.[444] In 2017, six teens in the city Gjakova, from BONEVET makerspace, became the first European teenager group to build an electric car out of a Renault Twingo, transforming it from a petrol-fueled car to a fully functional electric car.[445][446][447][448]

A Nissan Leaf charging at a public charge station in Colonia Condesa, Mexico City
In October 2009 Nissan reached an agreement with the Mexico City government, purchasing 500 Leafs for use of government and corporate fleets. In exchange, recharging infrastructure was to be deployed by the city government.[450][451] The first 100 Leafs (destined for the taxi fleet) were delivered in 2011.[452][453][454]
As of October2012[update], no government purchase incentives were available. However, electric cars are exempted from Mexico City's driving restriction scheme Hoy No Circula.[456]
Nepal leads with the newest car sales of electric vehicles in 2023 with 83% of new car purchases being electric. Nearly all of Nepal’s energy is from renewable sources generated by river-fed hydroelectricity. Nepal has also prioritized infrastructure development to support ownership of EVs, making it simple to own one.[462]
There are 45,000 electric vehicles running in Nepal as of 2019.[463] Nepal is one of the best countries to buy an EV. Electric cars are actually a better deal in Nepal due to following reasons:
Extremely low import tax compared to fossil fuel vehicle. (238% for fuel and 10% for electric)
Hydropower makes it clean energy. (91% of the electricity comes from hydro in Nepal)
No fossil fuel production. (Nepal imports fossil fuels and the prices are usually high)
Although detailed information is not available, over 50% of the cars sold in Nepal in 2022 were electric.[464]
Stock of light-duty plug-in electric vehicles on the road in the Netherlands (2011–2021)
As of 31December2021[update], there were 390,454 highway-legal light-duty plug-in electric vehicles in use in the Netherlands, consisting of 137,663 fully electric cars, 243,664 plug-in hybrid cars, and 9,127 light duty plug-in commercial vehicles.[118] The fleet in circulation of plug-in electric passenger cars represented 4.3% of all passenger cars in Dutch roads at the end of 2021, up from 3.1% in 2020.[118]
The plug-in market share declined from 9.9% in 2015, to 6.7% in 2016, and fell to 2.6% in 2017. After several adjustments in the financial incentives and tax code to favor the purchase of all-electric vehicles, the market share rose to 14.9% in 2019, 24.6% in 2020, and achieved 29.8% in 2021, now with dominance of battery electric vehicle sales since 2019.[118][120]
From 1 January 2016, all-electric vehicles continue to pay a 4% registration fee, but for a plug-in hybrids the fee rises from 7% to 15% if its CO2 emissions do not exceed 50 g/km. The rate for a conventional internal combustion car is 25% of its book value.[465][466]
The Dutch government set a target of 15,000 electric vehicles in 2015, 200,000 in 2020 and 1 million in 2025.[467] The government exempted selected vehicles from registration fee and road taxes.[468][469][470] The exemption from the registration tax ended in 2013.[471]Battery electric vehicles have special access to parking spaces in Amsterdam, queues for which can otherwise reach up to 10 years.[472] Free charging is offered in public parking spaces.[473]
Other factors contributing to the rapid adoption of plug-in electric vehicles are the Netherlands' small size, which reduces range anxiety; a long tradition of environmental activism; high gasoline prices (US$8.50 per gallon as of January 2013); and some EV leasing programs that provide free or discounted gasoline-powered vehicles for covering long distances.[473]
As of December2021[update], about 35,300 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles were registered in New Zealand. The majority of the fleet consists of used imports from Japan and the most popular used model is the Nissan Leaf with 13,900 registered. The country's most popular new EV is the Tesla Model 3 with 3,800 registrations.[475]
The target set in 2016 for New Zealand to have 64,000 electric vehicles in the country by the end of 2021 was not achieved, although by 2020 there were more EVs in New Zealand than Australia, despite Australia having five times the population of New Zealand.[476] The government agency EECA have forecasted 60,000 – 136,000 EVs in the NZ fleet by 2023[477] and other projections suggest New Zealand will reach 100% electric vehicle sales by 2030.[478]
Electric vehicle charger in New Zealand
The New Zealand Government launched an Electric Vehicle Programme in May 2016[479] to encourage EV uptake and added a Clean Car Discount in June 2021.[480] Electric vehicles in New Zealand are exempt from road user charges until at least 31 March 2024,[479] and attract the Clean Car Discount when first registered in the country.[480] In 2022, New Zealand enacted strict CO2 target legislation on vehicle importers for the period 2023–2027, and imposed charges on the purchase of high CO2 emission cars, which will accelerate electric vehicle adoption.[citation needed]
Norway
Registration of PEVs in Norway by year between 2006 and 2023. Includes PHEVs and BEV cars and vans. Used imports are included.Distribution of the Norwegian stock of passenger cars in use by type of fuel or powertrain at the end of June 2024

Norway was the first country in the world to have all-electric cars ranking as the best selling passenger car model of the year, and for two consecutive years. First, the Nissan Leaf, with 12,303 units registered in 2018, ended as the country's best selling new passenger car model, marking the first time an electric car tops annual sales of the passenger car segment.[490][491] Thereafter, the Tesla Model 3 topped annual passenger car sales in 2019 with 15,683 units registered.[492][493] Also, in March 2019, the Model 3, with over 5,300 units delivered, set the all-time record for monthly sales of a single passenger car model.[493] Another record was set in 2018 and repeated in 2019, as the top 5 best selling passenger car models in both years were all plug-in electric models.[490][491][492]
Government incentives
The Norwegian government set a series of incentives to promote the adoption of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). Electric vehicles are exempt from all non-recurring vehicle fees, making electric cars price competitive with conventional cars.[494] BEVs have lower public parking fees and toll payments (including domestic ferries), as well as given access to bus lanes.[483] Plug-in hybrids have a smaller market share than ZEVs because they are not eligible for the same incentives.[494][495][496] In 2013 the government reduced taxes for to improve PHEV sales.[496][497]
The initial 50,000 vehicle target was reached on 20 April 2015 at a cost of up to 4billion krone (around US$640 million).[498][499][500] The Government decided to continue the incentives through 2017, although the Parliament phased out some of the incentives.[501][502]As of January2018[update], 24 out of 58 major municipalities kept the free parking for EVs. Among the 34 municipalities that terminated the benefit, six kept different variants of partial free parking.[503]
In 2016, the government proposed its National Transport Plan 2018–2029 (NTP) with the goal that all new cars, buses and light commercial vehicles in 2025 should be zero emission vehicles. By 2030, heavy-duty vans, 75% of new long-distance buses, and 50% of new trucks must be zero emission vehicles.[504][505][506]

Government financial incentives plus fossil fuel costs supported a strong annual growth rate, reaching 1,044 BEV vehicles sales in 2022, a market share of 1.8% of total vehicle sales.[604] To support this continuous growth, the Government extended the exemption of taxes for the purchase of all-electric vehicles with a retail price of up to US$40.000.[605] BEV sales in 2023 grew by 80.92% to 1,887, a 3.14% market share of total vehicle sales.[225] Cumulative sales reported by the local dealership association (ACAU) shows that by the end of November 2024 sales of electric vehicles achieved 4,906 units, 160% more than all electric vehicles sold in 2023 and a reported market share of 8,3% of total vehicle sales[606] On 23 September 2024 the president of ACAU estimated that by the end of 2024 there will be over 10,000 electric vehicles in operation in the country.[607]
The city of Montevideo had by July 2023 140 BEV taxis in circulation (of a total of around 3,000, or 4.7%), with a target to reach 200 by the end of 2023.[608] The Uruguayan government through its Industry Ministry started offering in November 2022 a US$5,000 subsidy (applied as a post-sale rebate) for the replacement of up to 100 thermal taxis and ride-hailing vehicles. Of those 100 subsidies, geographically 93 were allocated to Montevideo and 7 to other departments of the country, while 88 were allocated to replacing ride-hailing vehicles, 11 to taxis and 1 to a remisse.[609] As an additional support, in July 2023 the local government of Montevideo is offering a subsidy of 200,000UYU (approximately US$5,000) for the replacement of up to 85 thermal taxis with electric ones, 30 of which were reserved for taxi cooperatives.[608] Thanks to this plan, on 27 February 2024 the government of Montevideo presented 10 new electric taxis (model BYD D1), property of the taxi cooperative Udecoot.[610] Following the previous successful experience, the national Industry Ministry renewed the plan on 27 September 2024, offering this time a US$4,000 subsidy (again, as post-sale rebate) for the replacement of up to 100 thermal taxis, remisses or ride-hailing vehicles for electric ones; even though the subsidy offered is US$1,000 less than the previous program, as an upgrade the program adds a 20% rebate (up to US$400) for the purchase of a car charger, as well as allowing up to 10 subsidy requests per owner.[611] As of 22 November 2024, there are 74 subsidies remaining.[612] The Industry Ministry is also offering since 5 September 2024 a subsidy (as post-sale rebate) of US$3,000 for the purchase of electric cargo vehicles and 20% rebate (up to US$400) for the purchase of an electric charger, allowing up to 10 subsidy requests per purchaser; as of 22 November 2024, there are 98 subsidies remaining. [613]
Regarding mass transit, as of 2021 there were 32 BEV buses in operation of a total of 5,391 buses nationwide (including urban, suburban and regional buses).[614] The main urban bus transport company in Montevideo (CUTCSA, with 1140 buses) adhered to COP26 emission targets, pledging to achieve a 25% of BEV fleet by 2025 (around 280 buses), reaching 100% by 2040.[615] On 28 February 2024 the company announced that during 2024 CUTCSA will replace 90 diesel buses for electric ones, also installing a bus charging station next to one of their depots, partially open to other bus companies,[616] and on 29 February 2024 it was announced that those buses will be Higer Azure A12BR, the same model as the prototype purchased by CUTCSA in 2023.[617] The first batch of 50 Higer buses (including 6 double-decker for tourist services) were shipped from China on 12 August 2024,[618] arriving in Montevideo on 16 October 2024;[619] those buses started operations in November 2024. On 11 April 2024 CUTCSA announced the signature of the contract for the delivery of 100 BYD K9UD electric buses, order starting in 2024 to be completed by June 2025; the company also announced that on 9 April 2024 it signed the purchase of 100 200kWh chargers from the Chinese manufacturer Ekingpow, to be distributed among their depots.[620] On 19 September 2024 BYD delivered those 100 K9UD buses on their factory in Qingdao, China with the presence of CUTCSA authorities,[621] the first 50 arriving on 3 December 2024. Furthermore, on 18 September 2024 the company announced the plan to purchase in 2025 the remaining 59 electric buses required to achieve their target of 25% fleet electrification, pending the completion of some infrastructure on their depots.[622] On 4 July 2024 it was announced that CUTCSA is in negotiations with the CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) to receive a long term senior loan of 15 million USD to finance this last batch of electric buses.[623] During 2023 the remaining bus companies in Montevideo, COME and transport cooperatives COETC and UCOT selected Yutong as supplier for another batch of locally-adapted electric buses (divided windows, different couches, among others), being 9 for COETC, 7 for UCOT and 5 for COME; the first one (a prototype, destined for COETC) arrived in February 2024, while another 19 arrived at late April (a final one, for UCOT, arrived in October 2024).[624][625] The local government of Montevideo issued in February 2024 a US$37.3 million bond for the replacement of an additional 90 diesel buses for electric ones (to be distributed 60 for CUTCSA and the remaining 30 among the bus cooperatives), funds to be managed by the local Transport Authority.[626] Also, the national government program "Subite Buses" is funding the investment of several Departments' local governments to purchase 10 additional electric buses in 2023.[627] The local government of Salto expects to receive their subsidized bus in November 2023, expecting to buy an extra 5 units in the short term,[628] achieving an electrification rate of around 13% of the local buses. On 28 November 2023, the Subite Buses program delivered the first electric buses to de departments of Maldonado, Flores, Tacuarembo and Salto, expecting to deliver buses to the departments of San Jose, Artigas and Río Negro by February 2024.[629] In Durazno, the local company Nossar purchased two Ankai electric buses for their urban service, which started operations in July 2023.[630][631] Meanwhile, on 6 February 2024 the Department of Canelones announced the purchase of 8 electric buses (from Yutong, Ankai and Guangdong) for their urban and suburban lines, to be distributed among 5 mass transit companies.[632] The national government informed on 20 June 2024 that it was revamping the so called "gasoil trust fund", that helped subsidize the cost of diesel fuel for buses, as well as replacements of units; the new trust fund will stop funding new diesel buses, accepting only new electric buses to receive the subsidy (all previously funded buses will continue to receive funding).[633]
Alongside the increasing sales there has been a strong expansion of the charging network: there were 150 charging stations at the end of 2022 (most of them slow charging), with a target of 300 public charging stations, or one every 50km, by the end of 2023.[634] Finally, on 19 March 2024 the 300th charger was turned on in the city of Trinidad, Flores Department, by the President of the Republic, Luis Lacalle Pou.[635] On 15 May 2024 Silvia Emaldi, the president of the national electric company (UTE), indicated that the country had decided to implement the European standard for the chargers, basically Type 2 and CCS2, but will maintain the ones already installed that had the Chinese standard so that older vehicles could use the network.[636] On 6 August 2024 it was announced that the public charger network achieved 317 chargers, with 112 of those being fast DC chargers, while the plan is to achieve 370 public chargers by the end of 2024, as well as evaluate the replacement of old AC chargers for new DC fast ones.[637] The government is also creating incentives so private companies can install charging stations throughout the country,[638] and the national electric company (UTE) announced that from 15 November 2023 to end of June 2024 there will be a rebate of 4,048UYU (about US$100) for domestic consumers that install a car charger at their homes.[639] On 15 March 2024 the company Evergo, working with local renewable energy company Ventus, announced plans for a private network of electric chargers, investing u$s 5M to achieve the installation of 240 chargers throughout the country in three years (around 80 per year), of which 40% will have 50kW of power, while the 60% remaining will have 20kW.[640] On 13 September 2024 another company, eOne, announced a plan for the installation of 100 DC fast chargers in the following 12 months, starting with a 5-charger station and following up with 18 additional chargers in 2024. [641] On 21 November 2024 UTE opened the first ultra-fast DC charging station in Montevideo (up to 480kW) donated by Huawei; initially with two charging ports, the station (powered at 600kW but upgradeable to 720kW) is expected to increase its size to 12 charging ports in the near term.[642] On the same event, the president of UTE informed that the public charger network achieved 332 chargers, of which 128 are fast DC ones.[643]
Crude electric carriages were first invented in the late 1820s and 1830s. Practical, commercially available electric vehicles appeared during the 1890s. An electric vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. In the early 20th century, the high cost, low top speed, and short-range of battery electric vehicles, compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use as private motor vehicles. Electric vehicles have continued to be used for loading and freight equipment and for public transport – especially rail vehicles.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors since 2001. It was originally known as the Mitsubishi Airtrek when it was introduced in Japan.
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or simply plug-in hybrid is a type of hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a rechargeable battery pack that can be directly replenished via a charging cable plugged into an external electric power source, in addition to charging internally by its on-board internal combustion engine-powered generator. While PHEVs are predominantly passenger cars, there are also plug-in hybrid variants of sports cars, commercial vehicles, vans, utility trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles, mopeds, military vehicles and boats.
An electric car or electric vehicle (EV) is a passenger automobile that is propelled by an electric traction motor, using electrical energy as the primary source of propulsion. The term normally refers to a plug-in electric vehicle, typically a battery electric vehicle (BEV), which only uses energy stored in on-board battery packs, but broadly may also include plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), which can convert electric power from other fuels via a generator or a fuel cell.
The Nissan Leaf, stylized as "LEAF," is a battery-electric powered compact car manufactured by Nissan, produced since 2010 across two generations. It has been offered exclusively as a 5-door hatchback. The term "LEAF" serves as a backronym to leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car.
A plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) is any road vehicle that can utilize an external source of electricity to store electrical energy within its onboard rechargeable battery packs, to power an electric motor and help propel the wheels. PEV is a subset of electric vehicles, and includes all-electric/battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Sales of the first series production plug-in electric vehicles began in December 2008 with the introduction of the plug-in hybrid BYD F3DM, and then with the all-electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV in July 2009, but global retail sales only gained traction after the introduction of the mass production all-electric Nissan Leaf and the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt in December 2011.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States is supported by the American federal government, and several states and local governments.
Government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles have been established around the world to support policy-driven adoption of plug-in electric vehicles. These incentives mainly take the form of purchase rebates, tax exemptions and tax credits, and additional perks that range from access to bus lanes to waivers on fees. The amount of the financial incentives may depend on vehicle battery size or all-electric range. Often hybrid electric vehicles are included. Some countries extend the benefits to fuel cell vehicles, and electric vehicle conversions.
The electric vehicle industry in China is the largest in the world, accounting for around 58% of global production of electric vehicles (EVs) and more than 1.5 million exports in 2023. In 2023, CAAM reported China had sold 9.05 million passenger electric vehicles, consisting 6.26 million BEVs and 2.79 million PHEV. China also dominates the plug-in electric bus and light commercial vehicle market, reaching over 500,000 buses and 247,500 electric commercial vehicles in 2019, and recording new sales of 447,000 commercial EVs in 2023.
The Norwegian fleet of plug-in electric vehicles is the largest per capita in the world. In December 2016, Norway became the first country where five in every 100 passenger cars on the road were plug-in; attained 10% in October 2018, and reached 25% in September 2022.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in the France is actively supported by the French government through a bonus–malus system through which provides subsidies towards the purchase of all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids with low CO2 emissions. The government also provides non-monetary incentives; subsidies for the deployment of charging infrastructure; and long term regulations with specific targets. Additionally, France passed a law in December 2019 to phase out sales of cars that burn fossil fuels by 2040.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in the Netherlands is actively supported by the Dutch government through the exemption of the registration fee and road taxes. These purchase incentives have been adjusted over time. Considering the potential of plug-in electric vehicles in the country due to its relative small size and geography, the Dutch government set a target of 15,000 to 20,000 electric vehicles with three or more wheels on the roads in 2015; 200,000 vehicles in 2020; and 1 million vehicles in 2025. The first two targets were achieved two years earlier than planned.
In China, the term new energy vehicle (NEV) is used to designate automobiles that are fully or predominantly powered by electric energy, which include plug-in electric vehicles—battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)—and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). The Chinese government began implementation of its NEV program in 2009 to foster the development and introduction of new energy vehicles, and electric car buyers are eligible for public subsidies.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Germany is actively supported by the German Federal Government. Under its National Platform for Electric Mobility, Chancellor Angela Merkel set an initial goal in 2010 to deploy one million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020, which was achieved with a six months delay in July 2021. Initially, the government did not provide subsidies to promote sales of plug-in electric vehicles, however, by the end of 2014 it was recognized that the country was well behind the set sales targets. A purchase bonus scheme was approved in 2016, but premium cars were not eligible to the incentive. In order to meet the climate targets for the transport sector, in 2016 the government set the goal to have from 7 to 10 million plug-in electric cars on the road by 2030, and 1 million charging points deployed by 2030.
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. About 745,000 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles had been registered in the UK up until December 2021, consisting of 395,000 all-electric vehicles and 350,000 plug-in hybrids. Until 2019, the UK had the second largest European stock of light-duty plug-in vehicles in use after Norway.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Sweden is actively supported by the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden. As of December 2021, a total of 355,737 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles have been registered since 2011, consisting of 226,731 plug-in hybrids, 120,343 all-electric cars, and 8,663 fully electric commercial vans.
The stock of plug-in electric vehicles in California is the largest in the United States, and as of December 2023, cumulative plug-in car registrations in the state since 2010 totaled 1.77 million units. Between November 2016 and until 2020, China was the only country market that exceeded California in terms of cumulative plug-in electric car sales.
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. 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
The initial adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in New Zealand was supported by New Zealand Government policies, including monetary incentives such as electric vehicle discounts, exemptions from road user charges, and electric vehicle sales targets. By 2023 year-end, there were 106,942 registered plug-in electric vehicles in New Zealand, consisting of 76,550 battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and 30,392 plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), together making up 2.2% of the national fleet of 4.8 million vehicles. In 2023, 27.2 percent of all new car registrations were plug-in electric vehicles.
The adoption of plug-in electric vehicles in Iceland is the second highest in the world after Norway, and fully supported by the government. As of 2022, the market share of electric vehicles in Iceland is around 60%, the second-highest in the world behind Norway. Around 14% of the country's passenger car fleet is electrified as of 2022.
