Volkswagen has made a significant announcement, revealing that it more than doubled its deliveries of electric vehicles in Europe in the first quarter of 2023. The total reached an impressive 150,000 units, marking a 101% increase compared to the same period last year when 74,400 electric vehicles were sold. This remarkable growth indicates substantial changes in the European automotive market, where the demand for electric transportation is rapidly increasing.  

EU Goals and Innovation Fuel Sales  

Despite a general decline in automobile sales, electric vehicles are strengthening their position in Europe. Data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association demonstrate these significant shifts. The EU’s updated emissions reduction goals have become a driving force for manufacturers actively releasing new models, sparking consumer interest amid the gradual transition to sustainable energy sources.
