If you think about buying an electric car and you don’t know which ones are more successful to guide you, we show you the best-selling car in Spain during 2021.
From promises to reality. This is how the electric vehicle sector seems to be behaving in our country. It is true that they still represent 3% of the total market, but the 27,769 units registered throughout 2021 represent an increase of 37.8% compared to the 2020 data. We are going to reveal the best-selling electric car in Spain during that pivotal year for the industry.
Of all these registrations, 23,900 euros corresponded to cars and electric SUVs (the rest to pick-ups, quadricycles, mopeds…). The turn that the sector has taken is due, in large part, to pressure from the European Commission in terms of emissions, forcing many manufacturers to have already announced that from 2030 they will have a completely electric range with the medium-term objective of also become CO2 neutral.
We will agree that there is still a long way to go to see a decent public charging network or that their prices will be lowered, but the electric car is beginning to take an important part of our daily lives. It must be taken into account that, of the 23,900 electric cars that were sold in 2021, 9,783 corresponded to the private channel, while the 50.2% of the total belongs to the business channel.
We will also agree that if we have to focus on a brand and a model, that is without a doubt Tesla. The company that Elon Musk owns, despite the appearance of more competitors and critics alike, continues to be the reference in this market, both in Spain and around the world.
