A difficult year for e-mobility in Saxony: the number of newly registered electric cars fell significantly last year. According to statistics from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) in Flensburg, only 7,801 pure electric vehicles were newly registered in 2024 - 4,088 fewer than in the previous year. This corresponds to a decline of more than a third. The "Freie Presse" had previously reported on this.
In contrast, there was an upturn in hybrid models: new registrations in Bavaria rose by around 18 percent compared to the previous year.
Conventional drive systems also recorded slight growth. The number of newly registered diesel cars rose by a good four percent, while the number of petrol cars increased by around one percent. Overall, the number of new registrations across all drive types increased by around two percent to 90,901 - the highest figure since 2021.
