Madrid, Barcelona and the Valencian Community are the regions where electric vehicle registration has increased the most
In the first six months of 2022, a total of 38,467 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles have been registered in Spain. Madrid is the autonomous region where in these six months the most vehicles of this type have been registered with a total of 17,613 vehicles (46%), followed by Catalonia with 5,613 (15%) and Valencia (8%). In all Autonomous Communities, with the exception of Murcia, the number of registered pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids has increased by about 15% compared to the first quarter of the year, demonstrating the clear evolution of this type of vehicle throughout Spain.
This data has been fed into the research conducted by emobili with the aim of identifying the communities where fewer and fewer electric cars are registered, through AEDIVE data. Similarly, the study analyzes the most registered brands and shows that the Spanish are preferred: Mercedes with 4,100 registrations, followed by Peugot with 3,377 registrations and by KIA, in third place, with 3,061 registered vehicles.
According to Francisco Casas, CEO of emovili “The results of this second Barometer are encouraging as they show us how more and more people are opting for electric vehicles, a change that will have an impact not only on the wallets of Spaniards but also on the planet in general.
According to his calculations and with current electricity and fuel rates, 100 kilometers of traveling with a petrol car costs about 13 euros, while with an electric car only 1.95 euros. This saving is probably one of the fundamental axes that lead the population to choose to purchase this type of vehicle.
