Selling electric cars throughout the world increased to 10.4 million cars, an increase of about 14% over the previous year, according to a study conducted by the administrative consulting company “Price Water House Copers”.
In the 21 markets included in the study, the Chinese market acquired nearly two -thirds of sales by 6.7 million batteries, achieving growth of more than 20%, which is much higher than the average based on the revised numbers than the previous year.
The United States ranked second with sales of 1.2 million electric cars and an increase of 7.4%, followed by Britain with sales of 382 thousand cars, an increase of 21% over the previous year.
Germany fell to fourth place after a 27% shrinking in the electric car market to 381 thousand cars after the country canceled the incentives for buying last year.
Sales also decreased in other European markets, such as France, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Sweden, but the declines were more moderate and less than those in Germany.
“The electric car market is largely dependent on external factors, explaining that strong sales in China by the end of the year can be attributed to” a kind of incentives for replacement To buy electric cars. ”
The company “Price Water House Copers” reported that the weak sales in Germany have slowed down the momentum of the European Union market.
She noted that manufacturers postponed electric car sales from last year to this year to meet strict carbon dioxide regulations in 2025.
As a result, “Price Water House Copers” expects an increase in electric car records at the beginning of the new year.
