Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands are the European countries where drivers have been the fastest to embrace electric vehicles.

In Bergen, Norway, Europe's top city for uptake of these types of vehicles, 80% of new registrations in 2020 were for electrified cars, i.e., 100% electric or plug-in hybrids.

Major capitals such as Paris, London and Brussels are around the European average, just above the symbolic 10% mark, according to a report by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).
