Germany and Europe are still a long way from the goals they have set themselves for e-mobility.

But electric cars are gaining in importance: In the second quarter of last year, 3.5 percent of newly registered cars across Europe were still running on electricity, this year it was 7.5 percent.

This was announced by the European manufacturers' association Acea in Brussels.

The proportion of all-electric cars has thus doubled within a year.

At the same time, the market share for gasoline and diesel vehicles fell.

Together, the two types of drive were still about 62 percent below the new registrations in the second quarter, in the same period last year it was still more than 80 percent.

There is also increasing demand for hybrid cars, the share of which is now just under 20 percent of new registrations in the EU.

They make up the majority of alternative drives in the EU.

Overall, the European car market continues to recover from the corona crisis.

Regardless of the type of drive, new registrations increased across the board between April and the end of June - compared to the pandemic-related weak quarter of the previous year.

However, the number of alternative drives among the new registrations is increasing significantly faster with mostly three-digit growth rates.

In contrast, new registrations of gasoline and diesel cars only rose by 25 and almost 8 percent within a year.
