, equal to

.

A promising growth, considering that 12 months ago there were less than 600,000 electric and hybrid cars on Italian roads.

This is what the official data, elaborated by

, the national association of the automotive industry supply chain, say: the year that is about to end, therefore, despite having confirmed the unfavorable forecasts on a crisis in the car market still far from ending , offers good prospects for the electric and hybrid sector.

By comparing the data of Anfia with those of the ACI, we see how at the beginning of the year the electric and hybrid cars registered in the registers of the motorization were 595,807, that is to say 1.50% of the total.

Hybrid vehicles (542,728) led the ranking, while electric ones were just 53,079.

Among the reasons indicated by those who are in favor of buying an ecological car, there is the desire to contribute to the reduction of pollution, fuel savings, the possibility of accessing restricted traffic areas, as happens in some cities .

The survey also highlighted the reasons why more than 11 million Italians are still opposed to electric or hybrid cars: first of all the price, then the low number of charging points in the area, and finally the low range of travel.
