In Slovenia last year approximately one percent of electric cars

Ljubljana/Luxembourg – Among new registered cars in the EU in 2023, 14.6 percent were fully electric according to Eurostat, which is 2.5 percentage points more than the year before. In total, 1.5 million fully electric cars were newly registered, increasing their number on the roads in the EU to 4.5 million. According to Eurostat, last year in Slovenia, the share of electric cars with just under 13,000 vehicles was approximately one percent, while in the entire EU it was 1.7 percent.

Among all new passenger cars first registered in Slovenia last year, 23 percent were hybrid and nine percent were electric passenger cars. This means that approximately one in ten new cars sold last year was solely powered by electricity. A total of 4330 electric cars were sold last year, which is 97 percent more than in 2022, according to the Automobile Association of Slovenia.

The Slovenian Statistical Office (SURS) presented more detailed statistics in April. Almost half (49%) of registered passenger cars last year ran on diesel, and 46 percent on gasoline. The number of diesel cars remained at the same annual level, while the number of those running on gasoline increased by one percent. The share of electric cars amounted to one percent, and hybrid cars to three percent. (August 3)
