Electric car sales increased by 14% across Europe in September, reversing a period of sustained decline in demand for EVs, but car sales were down across the board.
Figures from industry analysts Jato Dynamics reveal that 212,197 battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) were registered in September - up from 186,380 in the same month last year.
Jato attributes the uptick in EV demand to the success of various incentives across the region – France's EV tax reductions and Italy's state-backed scrappage scheme, for example – but was cautious on whether the upward trend will be sustained.
