Context & Explainers

Portugal's share of new car sales that are battery‑electric has recently been roughly in line with the EU average — broadly around the mid‑teens percent of new registrations — reflecting steady uptake driven by incentives and charging expansion. By comparison, Germany has tended to be higher (around ~20% BEV of new sales), France and the UK sit roughly in the mid‑teens (~15–17%), and the US has been lower (~6–8%), so Portugal is close to or slightly below the strongest European markets but clearly ahead of the US.
