Western Europe’s electric-vehicle market has moved decisively into a higher-growth phase in 2026. Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 25.3% of new passenger-car registrations across the region’s 18 markets in the first eight months, up from 18.7% a year earlier, while plug-in vehicles, including plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), reached a 36.2% share. August marked a record month, with BEVs at 32.5% and plug-ins at 44.3% of registrations. The report raises its full-year 2026 BEV forecast to 3.21 million vehicles, equivalent to 26.1% of the market, reflecting stronger-than-expected demand and a broadening product range.
