00:00Petrol or electric? What type of car do Europeans prefer?
00:08In 2025, sales of fully electric cars surpassed those of petrol-only vehicles in the European Union for the first time ever in December.
00:18More than one in six cars registered in Europe last year was fully electric.
00:23Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France were the four largest EV markets in the EU.
00:28These four member states together accounted for 62% of battery electric car registrations.
00:35This is according to a new study from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association.
00:41By the end of 2025, petrol car registrations fell by 18.7%, with all major markets seeing declines.
00:49France experienced the steepest drop, with registrations plummeting by 32%,
00:54followed by Germany down by 21.6%, Italy by 18.2% and Spain with a 16% decline.
01:03At the end of 2025, petrol and diesel cars lost a large share of the market in many parts of Europe.
01:10While petrol still accounts for over a quarter of the market, diesel's share fell below 10%.
01:16Consumer preferences for whether a new passenger car should be powered by petrol, diesel or an alternative fuel
01:23are mainly influenced by national incentives and taxation rules, according to Eurostat.
01:29Otherwise thoughts.
01:30Journal pockets for over a few seconds.
01:30They may not trust in only six cars.
01:30They may not trust in Germany.
01:30They may not trust in China.
01:31Or a little cursed symbol of Japanese video.
