I’m not Spanish, but spent most of December (in Alicante area), and, while I saw limited evidence of charging infrastructure (no CEPSA though), I saw very few electric cars anywhere. Hopefully this will accelerate over the next few years. Spain is a great country for electric cars potentially, with a California type climate in a good part of it.
As opposed to Norway, Spain is typically the type of European market where only a truly affordable long range EV will move the needle. Same for France, Italy, majority of European population actually.
What are you speaking about?
With the incitives the 40 kWh Renault Zoé (with the battery) costs the price of a Renault Clio if chosen with the same level of equipment and with the fuel economy. And if you rent the battery the price matches the Clio even without taking into account the fuel economy. And Clio is the best selling car in France…
The problem of Spain if the absence of incitives.
Spain problem is the low salaries
Right, I should probably not have included France in my short list.
Club Med countries generally are behind Scandinavia, and much of Northern Europe, but Norway is out on it’s own. The rest of us may be where Norway is now by 2025.
Affordable yes, long range no. Small and short range BEVs should be pretty popular in those countries as long as they are cheap.
Like a spanish I say that ev mobility are growing for the restrictions that are in Madrid or Barcelona but Spain is different and only the 400 TM3 makes more sales than advertising or another actions, we are jealous about our family o friends have. This is call “cuñadismo”
