From numbers collected by ACEA it appears that 13.4% of cars sold in January were diesels, versus 10.9% EV. For the whole of 2023 the EV share amounted to 14.6%. Diesels sales dropped from 15.8% to 13.4% 7over the course of 2023. Plug in sales also dropped to 28.8% while gas powered is the best seller @ 35.2%.
One reason for the drop in EV sales is that subsidising has been dropped in some countries. Diesel is by far the cheapest per mile if you run any decent amount. It would make sense for me aswell, but they are getting systematically banned from all major cities (low-emission zones) which forces me into a gas powered car. EV an Hybrid only make sense if you can deduct the costs from you taxes. Gas and diesel car costs can not be deducted, or only limited.
