We know that thermal machines are becoming less and less popular. And this is because they are accused of all vices, and in particular of active participation in global warming. Thus, the authorities and state bodies now want to do everything so that motorists no longer buy these vehicles, with a lot of fines and other taxes. Not to mention traffic restrictions and other measures. In addition, supply of electrified cars continues to improve and prices fall. This encourages drivers to choose this engine.

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice, it will be necessary to return pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Sales growth

And this is evident from the sales figures. Indeed, throughout the European Union, the prices of electric cars have increased significantly. And it is not for nothing that the latter has a market share last August exceeded 20%., compared to just 11.6% for the same period in 2022. Thus, for the second time this year, electric engines outnumber diesel engines in Europe. But hybrid models are also not left behind, as the market share is currently 24%. However, gasoline still remains the majority at 32.7% of sales.

Encouraging numbers

However, its share has fallen somewhat since thenwas 38.7% last July In any case, sales figures in Europe are quite encouraging, with registrations up 17.9% in August to reach a total of 7.1 million units on the Old Continent. The figures, however, are still lower than those of 2019, before the start of the Covid-19 crisis. But things are getting better as the months go by.
