Today, electric cars are on the rise. And for good reason, sales are growing, and the number of models available on the market also continues to grow. To be honest, it’s very hard not to find happiness in the current offer right now. From a city car like the Dacia Spring to a large SUV like the BMW iX, there is sure to be a model made for you, according to your needs. But you still have to want it. Which in any case will become mandatory from 2035 with a ban on the sale of new diesel locomotives.

The eastern district of Saint-Rambert on the street@A7Traffic from July 18 will offer 2 electric charging stations for refrigerators. It is an economical, ecological and quiet alternative to noisy and polluting diesel generators. https://t.co/YF2YFVSF5Q

Sales are on the rise

But the French don’t need to push themselves too hard to go all-electric. That’s what the latest sales figures show, anyway. And it is not for nothing that they prove that motorists continue to be tempted by this engine. So much so that at the beginning of the year its market share continues to grow. According to the CCFA, it is 15.4% for the entire 1st quarter of 2023. In March – even 16.7%, which is very impressive! The increase, to which we owe, in particular, the success of the Tesla Model Y, as well as Dacia Spring.

Gasoline is also pleasing

But if electric cars are mass appeal to motorists, many still want to continue driving electric cars. And it can be seen in the numbers. Gasoline still accounts for 38.7% of registrations, which is slightly more than last year. Then it precedes a simple hybrid, as well as a diesel, whose sales are logically falling. Finally, the plug-in hybrid is also lagging behind, as is the simple hybrid, accounting for just 8.6% of sales at the start of the year.
