115 thousand in Spain, 70 thousand in Portugal. But the quota that electric and hybrids plug-in occupy in the total market is triple in Portugal, compared to the neighboring country.
Last year closed with a great demand for cars electric In Portugal: In December the demand was what a year earlier.
And it is not just in search: the purchase confirms the increase in interest in tram. By 2024 the electric and hybrids plug-in occupied a quota of the market of 33,4% in total vehicles sold in Portugal. One third of sales is tramful or plug-in hybrids.
These numbers have been highlighted… in Spain. ANFAC – Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers – looks at Portuguese numbers as an example.
In total, last year, even more electric and hybrids were sold in Spain (115 thousand) than in Portugal (70 thousand).
But the Spanish market is much larger. And, looking at the quotas, the 11,4% em Spain They are far below the mentioned 33.4% in Portugal.
That is, in Spain, for every 9 vehicles sold, only one is electric or hybrid; In Portugal, for every 9 vehicles sold, 3 are electrical or hybrids.
Reasons
On the Portuguese side, Elsa Serra, do – Club Car of Portugal, considers that Portugal has a “electric mobility ecosystem and a public investment in the charging network“.
“The driver can carry anywhere, which gives him tranquility, without thinking of partnerships,” continues the responsible, before highlighting the tax incentives to companies In this context.
On the Spanish side, Félix García Fernández, Anfac Communication and Marketing Director, starts soon by talking about lack of signaling in Spain. “There are very few signs” that indicate the location of electric charging stations.
Felix also defends direct support At the time of purchase, “instead of waiting 18 months to receive.”
To get a notion, to meet environmental goals from the government itself by 2030, last year in Spain must have been sold 280,000 plug-in; and were sold just over half (150 thousand plug-in hybrids).
