Germany Hits Record 37% EV Market Share as Electric Sales Outpace Gas and Diesel

Battery-electric vehicles accounted for a record 37% of Germany's new vehicle registrations in October, tallying 94,086 units for a 79.5% year-over-year jump. Fully electric models outsold pure gasoline and diesel cars combined for the second consecutive month, according to federal motor transport authority KBA.
