The number of electric vehicles (EVs) sold in the European Union has reached a new all-time high, according to a report by PwC. The share of pure electric vehicles (BEV) in the EU reached 22 percent, surpassing the milestone of 600,000 units for the first time. In Germany, the BEV share exceeded that of hybrids in June, reaching 28.4 percent compared to 28.1 percent for hybrids. PwC attributes this growth to fluctuating oil prices and rapid technological advancements. The firm reported over 3.9 million BEVs were sold globally in the second quarter, setting a record in terms of volume and market share. PwC's automotive expert, Harald Wimmer, noted that while oil price fluctuations act as an external driver, the technological maturity of current models—such as increased range, competitive pricing, and lower operating costs—is crucial.
