Countries are coming around to publishing sales data for electric vehicles. Their counting systems are being refined to allow this, which takes both time and effort. I notice data published for one year is on occasion noticeably revised the following year. It will become more reliable.
Some nations have been slow to get into the electric alternative for various reasons. Germany for example waited for its car industry to get up to speed before introducing subsidies. In other places, there simply isn't the money to subsidise such vehicles.
As we scan the chart below, it becomes apparent every country that reported had an increase over 2019. One pulled out in 2020 and three new ones were added. Those added came with last year's data but it's the first year ACEA reported their numbers.
The four main European markets all had above-average gains (exceeding +107%). Italy is still rather well behind but they lead Europe for CNG fueled cars. Norway and the Netherlands didn't grow that fast but they do have a high electric car percentage already so that is to be expected.
The figures below are for BEVs, or battery electric vehicles.
