In 2023, 10.7 million new passenger cars were registered in the EU. Among them, the pure petrol cars had the highest share (34.5%), followed by non-plug-in hybrid petrol-electric cars (21.1%), battery-only electric cars (14.5%) and pure diesel cars (14.3%). 

After the rapid growth in battery-only electric car registrations between 2013 and 2023, the combined share of all hybrid and battery-only electric vehicles in 2023 matched that of pure petrol and pure diesel cars (48.3% vs. 48.8%).

This information comes from data on passenger cars published by Eurostat. The article presents a handful of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article on passenger cars in the EU.
