What emerges from the Motus-E report on electric car sales

Battery-powered car sales are soaring in November. While the car market is in crisis due to Covid, electric vehicle sales are in record numbers.

THE SALES

Let's start with the numbers. In November, 9,722 units of electric cars were carried out (both BEVs, i.e. cars with electric batteries and PHEVs, plug-in hybrids) compared to 2,892 in October. In 2020, this is the highest figure so far, in a general car market context, for the month of November, which records a negative figure of 9% reduction compared to November last year (with a consolidated 2020 of -28.93% compared to 2019). The numbers are rattled off by the Market Analysis report reported by Motus-E, an association made up of industrial operators, academia and associations with the aim of accelerating the development of electric mobility in Italy through dialogue with institutions, of the public and training and information programs.

SPLIT THE ALTITUDE OF ELECTRIC

Sales in 2020 pushed the share of electricity to 7% in November and 3.66% on the annual consolidated (compared to 0.87% consolidated in the same month in 2019). The full-electric cars arrive on their own, reaching 2% of the consolidated, still constituting 55% of the car market below 60 gCO2 / km.

THE HYBRID PLUG-IN

Double-digit growth for plug-in hybrids in November: + 274%, compared to 156% for battery-powered cars.

THE RIGHT ROAD?

“The numbers of car registrations for November 2020 reinforce the belief that the path we are following is the right one and that we must work to support a demand that exists, is real and in clear and constant growth. However, there is a lot of work to do, all together, to create in Italy a charging network worthy of an important country and to offer diversified and quality services to users, and there is still a market to be supported for a few years that will soon walk their own legs ”, commented by Motus-E, which predicts that by the end of the year, the registration could exceed the bar of 30,000 units.
