More EVs in the EU than petrol and diesel cars

In the last quarter, sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in the European Union reached a milestone. For the first time, more EVs have been sold than the total number of petrol and diesel cars sold together. This development highlights the shift within the automotive industry towards more sustainable transportation solutions.
