This affects more affordable all-electric made in China. All-electric cars made up 12.6% and 3% respectively.
However, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are not driving growth as they historically have done. In contrast, petrol cars performed almost as well as they did before the Covid-19 pandemic. While we’re seeing a clear decline in demand for diesel models, drivers are opting for gasoline alternatives, rather than switching to electric.”
Unpacking data from EV Volumes , Schnieder highlighted that battery-electric vehicle (BEV) registrations fell by 0.5% Many all-electric models are still comparatively expensive, particularly as governments amend, phase out, or completely withdraw incentive programmes. year on year.
