VCÖ Points to E-Car Share in Northern Europe

The VCÖ, on the other hand, recommends looking north. "While the EU is discussing postponing the combustion engine phase-out for new cars to 2035, in Norway, 95 percent of newly registered cars are already electric this year, and there are now more electric cars than diesel cars in the fleet," calculated the transport club.

The EU leader Denmark already has an electric car share of 67 percent for new cars, in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium, every third newly registered car is an electric car, Austria ranks eighth in the EU ranking with 21 percent.
