In Italy, the electric car market lags behind

In early November 2026, several publications report that in the Italian market, hybrids are progressing while the share of electric cars remains below 8%, around 6%, and the gap with the European average is widening. The General States of the Green Economy and Unrae highlight the weakness of the electric fleet and investments, with Unrae estimating that 400,000 families are excluded from the transition. At the same time, Rome overtakes Milan as Italy's leading urban market for electric vehicles, Bolzano reaches 30% electric registrations, and Motus-E nevertheless notes a persistent lag compared with the rest of Europe. The surge in fuel prices linked to the war in Iran is boosting electric car searches, and PRIORITY data in Rome indicates 50% electric vehicles in the monitored fleet and 30% less CO2.
