Electric car sales soar in 2022

The year 2022 has been a year marked by uncertainties in the automotive sector, especially due to the diesel engine crisis that has encouraged many buyers to make the leap to other alternatives to diesel. Thus, electric vehicles have had a very good 2022, registering a 60% increase in electric vehicle registrations compared to 2017. Thus, 2019 is presented as a key year in promoting the electric car, encouraged by the implementation of new restrictions on "traditional" vehicles such as Madrid Central, but making it clear that there is still much to be done to electrify the Spanish car park.

In 2022, 15,495 electric vehicles and 5,686 plug-in hybrids have been registered, which represents a significant increase compared to 2017, when 13,021 registrations were registered between both technologies. This accumulated includes 6,132 passenger cars, 1,825 vans, 3,938 mopeds and 3,352 motorcycles. In this way, growth has occurred through different types of vehicles, highlighting how the Community of Madrid has been the one that has taken the bulk of sales thanks to the aid plan approved last December.
