E-mobility is booming in Europe - every third BEV in Germany
Electromobility in Europe has gained further momentum and is developing faster in Germany than in any other European country. Every third electric vehicle newly registered in Europe in 2021 is driving on German roads, according to the figures for the first ten months of 2021. This was reported by the organizer of the Power2Drive trade fair in Munich (May 11-13, 2022), Solar Promotion GmbH, citing a study by the e-car data specialist Schmidt Automotive Research. According to this, nearly 886,000 pure electric cars were sold in 18 European countries from January to October 2021. This represents an 80 percent increase in new registrations of pure electric cars compared to the same period in 2020. The largest Western European car market also leads in the number of registrations: In Germany, 267,000 vehicle registrations for battery electric vehicles were issued by October – which means that every third newly registered e-vehicle in Europe is in Germany. This is a 120 percent increase compared to the same period in 2020.
Other large European markets for pure electric vehicles currently include the United Kingdom (141,000), France (122.500), and Norway (89,000). High growth in the registration of pure electric cars compared to the previous year's period – albeit at a lower absolute level – was also recorded in Italy (166 percent, 52,300 cars), Austria (152 percent, 26,500 cars) and Sweden (126 percent, 42,000 cars). Even in Finland, where only 7,612 pure electric cars hit the roads by October 2021, the number of registrations increased by 160 percent compared to the previous year's period.
Traffic Light Coalition Propagates 15 Million EVs by 2030 in Germany
It is expected that the e-mobility boom in Germany will continue, driven by government subsidies such as the innovation premium for the purchase of electric vehicles, performance and range improvements, as well as the expansion of charging infrastructure, analysts were convinced. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also announced that the first electric cars in the US automaker's first European factory near Berlin would roll off the assembly line as early as December. Additionally, the new federal government is pursuing ambitious goals and aims to have at least 15 million fully electric cars on German roads by 2030. The coalition agreement also calls for one million public charging points by 2030, a large portion of which will be fast charging stations. The new government also aims to improve support for the expansion of charging infrastructure and reduce obstacles in approval processes, grid infrastructure, and grid connection conditions.
Charging Solutions and E-vehicles at Power2Drive Europe 2022
As an exhibition organizer, we aim to provide guidance in this dynamically growing market through the international trade show Power2Drive Europe 2022 with a trade fair forum and accompanying Power2Drive Conference. Charging solutions, electric vehicles, and mobility services will be presented. Here, manufacturers, suppliers, installers, fleet and energy managers, dealers, and start-ups can make business contacts. Additionally, the trade show is committed to integrating electromobility into a renewable energy system, once again taking place on the innovation platform The smarter E Europe alongside the energy trade shows Intersolar Europe, ees Europe, and EM-Power Europe. The focus is on the possibilities of connecting the areas of electricity, heat, and transport with renewable energy, as well as through decentralization and digitalization.
