Overall, the passenger car fleet in almost all of the EU Member States has grown over the last five years, reaching a total of 250 million cars in 2020.
For at least 30 years, Luxembourg has recorded the highest motorisation rate (number of cars per thousand inhabitants) among the EU Member States (682 passenger cars per thousand inhabitants in 2020).
This might be influenced by cross-border workers (i.e. not inhabitants) using company cars registered in the country.
Luxembourg was followed by Italy (670), Poland (664) and Finland (652).
At the other end of the scale, a particularly low motorisation rate was recorded in Romania (379 cars per thousand inhabitants), despite a growth in the number of registered cars over the period 2015-2020 (+41%).
Romania was followed by Latvia (390), Hungary (403) and Bulgaria (414).
Unfortunately, majority of those Electric cars are in countries like Netherlands or France. Other countries like Poland have registered 43 000 electric cars. poland makes up 8.5% of Eu Population and 3.5% of all electric cars.
