eCarsTrade’s electric vehicle expert commented on the study:
“The electric vehicle market is growing rapidly and sales of all new vehicles are expected to reach around 27% in 2026.
This ranking shows that traditional manufacturers such as Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen are finally catching up in the electric sector.
“There is strong demand from both companies buying fleet vehicles and individual buyers, and people tend to trust these established brands more when making a larger purchase.”
