Electric cars, those who go up and those who go down (the incentive node remains)
How are electric cars in Italy and which are the best-selling models. All data from the Motus-E report on June 2022.
The best-selling electric car in Italy last June was – once again – the Fiat 500E, with 3,576 units.
THE MOST POPULAR ELECTRIC CARS IN ITALY
In second place in the ranking of the five most popular models is the Smart fortwo (2418 units), followed by the Dacia Spring (2040). Fourth and fifth positions are occupied respectively by Tesla's Model Y (1643) and by the Renault Twingo (1046).
HOW ARE ELECTRIC CAR SALES IN ITALY (BAD)
Overall, sales of pure electric cars (aka BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) amounted to 13,014 units in June: a decline of 7.8 percent year-on-year, because in June 2021 14,120 cars were registered.
The data comes from the monthly editorial of MOTUS-E , an association that groups together the operators of the Italian electric mobility chain.
THE NUMBERS OF 2022 SO FAR
THE CRITICISM OF MOTUS-E
According to MOTUS-E, the callus of registrations is due to the fact that “the incentives don't work. The models available for the incentive price range, under € 35,000, are less than 30% of all those available and this already would explain slow bookings ".
“To this”, explains the association, “it should be added that fleets and all legal entities, which represent a good slice of the market and would then guarantee a quality used vehicle, cannot benefit from the incentives. The system needs to be revised. "
COMPANY FLEETS AND CHARGING COLUMNS
Speaking of company fleets, Francesco Naso, secretary general of MOTUS-E, had said that these "would not only be an important driving force at this time, but, above all, would represent a tool for the true diffusion of fully electric vehicles, bringing 'used, within 3-4 years, battery-powered vehicles that can also be purchased by families who cannot afford a new vehicle ”.
“It is necessary to give new impetus to the Italian market”, declared Naso. “And the approval, in the Aid Decree, of incentives for the installation of columns for private individuals could also contribute to this”.
