Let’s take a look at the progress of electrification in major European markets.
The average market share of new passenger plug-in electric cars in Europe more than doubled in H1 2020 to 7.8% (from less than 3% in H1 2019).
In this post we will compare plug-in market share in 28 countries – the European Union plus EFTA (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland) and the UK, using available registration data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA).
The average for the European Union is 6.9% (compared to 2.4% a year ago). 2-4 top countries highly inflated the average result. In 15 countries, share exceeded 5%.

In the case of all-electric cars, the average for the market is over 4.3% (up from 2% in 2019).
Only two countries noted double-digit BEV share with the unprecedented position of Norway, which stands out as a global phenomenon (no change here). So far this year, 7 countries are above 5%.
The top countries are:
