The truth is that the situation regarding electromobility is still far from comparable to the rest of Europe. According to the latest ANFAC electromobility barometer, published in the first quarter of 2023, the penetration of electromobility in Spain is at 11%.
This figure puts our country at the bottom of Europe in terms of electrification, considering that on average they represent 23.8% of the mobile fleet. One of the main reasons for these differences is the price, which determines the final choice.
