Close to one in four new passenger cars sold was a plug-in.
In May, new passenger car registrations in Germany amounted to 230,635 (up 37% year-over-year), but a bigger change is happening in the plug-in segment.
The number of passenger plug-in car registrations increased 338% year-over-year to over 54,000, which represents 23.4% of the entire market.
Interestingly, all-electric cars expanded faster than plug-in hybrids, and maybe once again will become popular in the near future.
