The number of hybrid cars with petrol engines is on the rise, while fewer and fewer are buying a new electric car, new figures show.

Motorists do not prefer electric cars but the hybrids with petrol engines. This is shown by the latest sales figures across Europe.

If we go back a little further – i.e. to the month of March – the number of hybrids increased by almost 13 percent. Just as the car type went from a market share of 24.4 to 29 percent.
At the same time, the number of newly registered electric cars fell by 5 percent compared to the same month last year. This is shown by figures from the industry association Acea.
