]]> Data released by the European Automobile Association (ACEA) showed that sales of pure electric vehicles continued to expand in the EU in the second quarter of 2022, increasing to 9.9 percent of total passenger vehicle registrations from 7.5 percent a year earlier, due to a shrinking market share for fuel vehicles and a decline in total vehicle sales.

In the second quarter of the year, the market share of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the EU fell to 55.8% from 62.0% a year earlier, with total sales of both types of vehicles down by more than one-fifth. In contrast, sales of pure electric vehicles increased by 11.1%.

Of the new vehicles sold, two-fifths were electric, with hybrids remaining the most popular with a 22.6 percent market share.

ACEA previously released data show that the number of new car registrations in the European Union in June this year was the lowest since 1996 because of logistics bottlenecks and ongoing chip shortages that have limited car production.
