Electric cars appear as the means of transport of the future, but they are increasingly present. Soon the manufacturers will have at least one zero-emission vehicle in their fleet because it is an increasingly real business opportunity. To better understand the alternative car market it is essential to know the product. Currently, manufacturers are working on electric hybrids (HEV), which combine a gasoline engine with a small electric one that is charged with the driver and brake, and plug-in electric hybrids (PHEV), whose load are by an external source and have an individual autonomy in electric mode. There is also the BEV that work entirely with electric batteries and the REEV, with an electric motor to which they add another gas to increase the autonomy.

Electric Vehicles

China And Europe

Once the product is known, numbers can be added. Based on the figures obtained after comparing the first semester of 2015 concerning 2016, it is verified that it is China and Europe that drive this market.

 

Developing Actively

In the case of the Asian giant, the growth was 128%, more than any region. In Europe, many markets are developing actively, but in the Netherlands and Denmark overshadow the landscape with the modification of incentives by governments.

General Motors

In any case, the Old Continent has grown 21% in this sector during the period studied. In the fact of the United States, Tesla, General Motors, and Ford were the primary sources of an increase that amounted to 18%.

In any case, sales represent an upward trend both globally and in Spain. While it is true that in a global vision sales increased week by week in the period studied between 2015 and 2016. It was in December of this last year when the 100,000 units sold in a single month were exceeded. In the case of our country, it has not been until 2015 when the growing trend has been consolidated, since in some months of 2014 sales were lower than in the same period of 2013.
