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

I think part of this might be due to the fact that in a lot of countries they are phasing out subsidies for EVs or decreasing them significantly. So people were rushing out to buy their EVs before this happened.
Yep. These numbers will plummet. EVs are not getting cheaper, Renault phased out the Zoe as well…
Not only that, more and more people are going to just drive and repair the older cars - which is a good thing because you’d be able to drive many 100k km for the 10-15 tonns of Co2 a new EV needs to even be built…
Co2 prices will make fossile fuels go out of fashion very fast, like in Sweden, we’re over 80% of Diesel sold is renewable and gas 90% less Co2 emissions, most new-ish diesels are very clean (even the VW ones…) and particulate matter is “made” by both vehicles, so going by bike is the best option for that.
Many people I know actually bought new bikes, rather than a new car in the last 2 years…
