In line with the new decisions taken by countries, the number of electric cars in the world continues to increase day by day. With the introduction of new electric models by many brands, large increases are observed in electric car sales.
Until last month, cars with internal combustion engines dominated car sales in Europe. According to the new report, it was a first and in December 2021, fully electric cars sold more than diesel cars.
Sales of electric cars in Europe in December surpassed diesel models!
Diesel cars were loved as much as gasoline cars and were very popular both in our country and in the world. In particular, the ban by some countries in some regions due to its harmful effects on the environment made diesel lose its former popularity. According to research by Schmidt Automotive Research, electric cars sold more than diesel cars in Europe in December.
Data from 18 European countries for the report meeting. When we look at the data, we see that diesel cars accounted for 19% (160,000 units) of the total sales in December. Electric cars account for 21% of total sales (176,000 units). When we look at this situation, we can see that diesel cars have lost their popularity to a large extent.
All-electric car sales surpass diesel cars for the first time on a monthly basis in the European market. Other electric vehicles (hybrid, rechargeable hybrid, battery electric vehicles) surpassed the sales of diesel cars for the first time in September 2020. The reason for this increase is thought to be due to the fact that automobile manufacturers comply with the CO2 emission values in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Looking at the data in detail, Tesla is at the top of the list with 34,700 sales. American automaker Ford, on the other hand, ranks second behind Tesla with 31,800 sales. Although diesel sales have started to decline, this rate is still high. If we look at the annual sales figures, 2.3 million diesel cars were sold in Europe and England in 2021. Electric cars, on the other hand, sold 801,025 units in 2021.
If we look at these figures, there is a long time ahead for the sales of electric vehicles to surpass diesel cars on an annual basis. So, what are your thoughts? Would you prefer an all-electric car instead of a diesel car? Do not forget to leave your comments and opinions below.
