They had a record year in 2023 and were outperforming 2023 for the first 3 quarters of 2024 (full year 2024 will be released later i guess). So right now they are still doing fine, but they need to change something for the future.

Not everyone has their own home. Fueling up is much faster. EV’s are more expensive when buying. Hybrids have much longer range. EV’s at 15kwh/100km would be depending on the price end up at like 4-6€/100km, Hybrids at 4L/100km would end up at like 7€/100km.

Well, average Fuel Consumption for petrol engines in germany is 7.7L, so if you drive a mild hybrid that has 4-5L it still helps.

Edit: also i just realized that its new cars registrations for december, not total share.

Crazy to me that EV + Hybrid is larger than petrol cars already.
