While new registrations of electric cars in Germany have dropped since the beginning of the year compared to the previous year due to the scrapped purchase incentive, the industry still records strong growth globally.
This is according to the International Energy Agency’s Global EV Outlook 2024 published on Tuesday. In the first quarter of this year, the sales figures of electric cars (including plug-in hybrids) were 25 percent higher compared to the same period last year.
