The electric car market in Italy in 2026
At the end of October 2026, rankings list the most registered electric models in Italy in August 2026 and compare 2025 to 2026 sales. Electric vehicle sales growth is accelerating in Europe, but Italy remains behind its neighbors. Early November, an electric SUV ranking is published and a projection relayed by InsideEVs Italia estimates the Italian fleet at 8 million electric vehicles in 2035, below European targets. Leapmotor then crosses the 30,000 registration mark since the start of 2026, while in October the BYD Dolphin Surf leads sales ahead of the Leapmotor T03 and the Tesla Model Y. Hybrids are progressing in Italy while the electric share remains below 8% over the first ten months of 2026.
