Europeans are switching to EVs faster than anywhere else in the world. Only 36% of new car sales are gasoline or diesel cars so far in Europe in 2025. (www.arenaev.com)

Every major EU market saw a decrease in petrol sales, led by France with a staggering 32.3% decrease and Germany with a 22.5% drop. The numbers make it clear: the era of fossil fuels ruling the new car market is effectively over.

That is the huge news. The share of BEV+PHEV was only 25.6%. There is a huge non-plug in hybrid segment in Europe. That is resulting in massive reductions of gasoline/diesel. But China has a 50%+ share of BEV+PHEV, and so headline might not be right other than October trends.
