Last year in Europe sales of hybrids cars doubled, reaching 20% of the total and equaling sales of cars with diesel engines. Almost 2 million vehicles were sold in both cases.
The "problem" is that these cars run on fossil fuels, and although fully electric cars are also increasing in sales, they still represent a small sector of the total car market.
Only 9% of the cars sold were fully electric (about 900,000 units). The exception is the Nordic countries like Norway where electric cars are the most sold. Almost 85% of the total.
The “positive” difference is that electric cars are increasing their sales by double-digit percentages, and that is important when it comes to changing market trends. But it's not enough.
Something that is essential for people to be encouraged to buy electric cars is to have recharging points along the roads, and that is still (at least in Spain) far from happening.
If Governments and Administrations do not get involved with determination to favor and make life easier for drivers of electric cars, everything will remain just in good words and little else.
I suffer healthy envy when I see how some Nordic countries favor electric cars, but of course, one is born where one is born.
