The corporate sector continues to lag behind private households in terms of electrification, new H1 data by Dataforce shows. In the whole EU, 13.8% of all new private registrations were battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). For corporates, this was only 12.4%. This has a major impact on the progress of the whole automotive ecosystem (carmakers, charging infrastructure providers etc.) towards electrification as 60% of all new cars in the EU are registered by companies.
The slow uptake of EVs in the corporate car market is mainly explained by poor performances in Germany, France, Italy and Spain, the EU’s four biggest car markets.
