Italy: electric car market lags behind

In early November 2026, published data indicate that the electric car market share in Italy remains below 8 percent over the first ten months, at around 6 percent, well below the European average. The Green Economy General States report highlights the weakness of the electric vehicle fleet and public transport investment, while Unrae notes an auto market up 8.3 percent but weak electric sales, with 400,000 families excluded from the transition. Monthly rankings and InsideEVs Italia data show Rome overtaking Milan as the leading urban electric market, and Motus-E underscores the country's persistent lag. The surge in fuel prices linked to the war in Iran has boosted electric vehicle searches, with Bolzano reaching 30 percent electric registrations and the PRIORITY program reporting 50 percent electric vehicles in the monitored fleet in Rome and 30 percent less CO2.
