Electric car sales in continental Europe soared 51% in March as rising petrol and diesel costs driven by the Iran war accelerated the shift to EVs. Some 224,000 new EVs were registered last month, with 500,000 sold in Q1 – a 33.5% increase year-on-year. Norway leads with 98% of new cars being electric, while Germany, France, Italy and Poland recorded 40% EV uptake. The switch has reduced annual oil demand by the equivalent of 2m barrels per year.
