5 things you should know about electric cars

Did you know? Transport is responsible for one quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, and road transport accounts for 70 % of this amount. These emissions come primarily from gasoline and diesel cars. Already in 2023, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were the most popular alternative to petrol and diesel cars, representing more than 14.6 % of all new cars sold in the EU. Plug-in hybrid electric cars accounted for another 7.7 %. So more than 1 in 5 new cars sold in Europe can now be charged electrically. (More on climate.ec.europa.eu)
