In July, Germany will become the first European country to pass the symbolic milestone of one million electric cars on the road. For more than a year, sales have been booming, thanks in particular to numerous government subsidies encouraging people to buy this type of vehicle.

In June alone, sales of all electric cars quadrupled in Germany compared to the same time period in 2020, representing a record 12.2% of all vehicles sold.
