Electric cars gained a lot of popularity in Europe in 2022

As expected by industry experts, electric cars continue to become more and more popular among end consumers around the world. With increased production, market competition, digital operating systems, zero pollutant emissions and many more benefits, European Union did not stay out of this fashion last year.

This is because, of all cars sold within the block in 2022, 12.1% of them were fully electric vehicles, which represents an increase of 28% when compared to sales in 2021. Hybrids were not left out either, with a 22.6% share of the European car market.

Thus, in total, 44% of all cars sold in Europe had some kind of large battery, and they were fully electric or the popular hybrids, according to data reported by the association responsible for the sector, ACEA.

In this way, it is possible to verify that consumers are increasingly migrating to electric vehicles. In comparison, diesel-powered cars accounted for only 16.4% of total sales in the Union European Union in 2022, and in 2015, this type of vehicle accounted for almost half of sales performed.

What are the benefits of electric cars?

The popularity of this vehicle option has increased a lot over the years, but it is easy to find the reason for such an event. At first, the price of this car model may not seem very friendly, but the benefits promise to compensate for the high investment.

Check out just some of the benefits of purchasing an electric vehicle:

• Quieter: the electric car emits very little noise pollution, so much so that the European Union itself had to establish a law for automakers to install an artificial noise in these cars, so that it is possible to hear them;
• Less polluting: in addition to virtually zero noise pollution, the electric car emits approximately 33% less CO₂ than traditional models;
• Cheapest supply: here it is quite simple, electricity is usually cheaper than fossil fuels.
