It\u2019s not just the Dutch and Norwegians<\/a> that went wild for electric vehicles (EVs) last year. Germany also had a bumper year for sales of battery powered vehicles in the country.<\/p>\n

According to Germany\u2018s road traffic regulator, more than 194,000 BEVs were sold in 2020 in the country, Reuters reports<\/a>. Three times as many as 2019.<\/p>\n

Richard Damm the president of the regulator, the KBA, said the country is on its way toward having more than 7 million EVs on German roads by 2030.<\/p>\n

It might be on its way to that goal, but the reality is it has a lot further to go.<\/p>\n

By the end of 2020, BEV registrations represented just 1.2% of all passenger car registrations. A year earlier that figure was 0.5%.<\/p>\n

Germany was just one of 18 countries in Western Europe that experienced a bumper year of EV sales.<\/p>\n

In December<\/a>, 68.9% of all new cars registered in the Netherlands were electric.<\/p>\n

Across the entire year<\/a>, 54.3% of all new passenger vehicles registered in Norway were electric, making it the first country in the world where EV sales outweigh combustion engine cars for a whole calendar year.<\/p>\n
