Rankings
- EU countries by battery electric cars on the road
- Regions of Germany (NUTS 2) by battery electric cars on the road
Definition
Passenger cars powered only by electricity registered at the end of the year (the stock, not new registrations).
Counts cars on the register on 31 December, as reported by national vehicle registers to Eurostat. Plug-in hybrids, other hybrids and hydrogen cars are not included. Germany counts its register on 1 January of the following year, so its 2024 value is the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) figure for 1 January 2025. Regions use NUTS 2024 codes; a few countries report no regional breakdown.
