In April 2026, 64,350 electric passenger cars were registered, representing a 41.3% increase compared to the same month the previous year. As a result, electric vehicles achieved a market share of 25.8% ¹. High figures were also recorded in May: with 59,969 newly registered fully electric passenger cars, the increase was 39.3% compared to the same month the previous year, resulting in a market share of 25% ².

In May, it was announced that the new electric vehicle purchase incentive would apply retroactively to all registrations dating back to January 2026³. The current high number of new registrations may already reflect the initial effects of this incentive. As of June 2, 41,772 applications had been counted, more than 90% of which were for fully electric cars ⁴.

Not only is the number of electric passenger cars continuing to grow steadily, but an increasing trend toward electrification is also evident among commercial vehicles in the EU. Looking back at the registration figures for the first quarter, the share of electric vans rose by 42%, reaching a market share of 12%. The number of electric trucks rose by 40.1%, reaching a market share of 3.5%. Electric buses also saw an increase: the number of new registrations rose by 36%, reaching a market share of 20% ⁵ .

Europe is investing in the expansion of electric mobility

From January through May, 950,521 new electric cars were registered in the EU. This brought the market share to 20%. The three countries with the most new registrations – Italy, France, and Germany – all posted strong growth figures. Germany ranked third with a 40.9% increase⁶ .

Several countries in the EU Economic Area and Switzerland have pledged a total of 200 billion euros in investments for the electric vehicle ecosystem. Of this amount, 109 billion euros are to be allocated to the battery supply chain, 60 billion euros to electric vehicle manufacturing, and approximately 23–46 billion euros to public charging networks. Germany accounts for nearly a quarter of these investments and is thus, according to experts, one of the most important players in the European electric mobility sector ⁷.

Charging Infrastructure and Used Car Market Show Positive Trends

Charging infrastructure in Germany also continues to grow. As of May 1, there were 203,951 public charging stations in Germany—a 17% increase from May of last year and 1,833 more than on April 1⁸.

The used car market for electric vehicles has also shown positive development in recent months: compared to last year, the time listings remained on the market has shortened significantly. Demand doubled between December 2025 and April 2026, and the share of listings for electric cars rose from 3.5% to 8%  ⁹.

Conclusion: Positive Trend Continues in the Second Quarter

Overall, the positive trend from the first quarter is continuing. Rising registration figures, growing investment, the expansion of the charging infrastructure, and increasing momentum in the used-car market show that electric mobility is continuing on its growth trajectory in Germany and Europe.

From June 23 to June 25, 2026, we’ll be exhibiting at Power2Drive in Munich. Power2Drive Europe is the international trade show for charging infrastructure and electric mobility. Under the motto “Charging the Future of Mobility,” it offers the ideal industry meeting place for manufacturers, dealers, installers, fleet and energy managers, charging station operators, e-mobility providers, and startups. The trade show focuses on the latest technologies, solutions, and business models for a sustainable mobility world.

Focus on the Future of Charging Infrastructure

This year’s highlights include charging infrastructure, smart charging, and the interplay between electric vehicles, smart charging infrastructure, and renewable energy. We’ll be presenting our EAAZE platform in relation to these and other topics, demonstrating how companies can operate charging infrastructure simply, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Experience our solutions firsthand and discover the platform’s diverse features through practical demonstrations.

For some time now, the economic analysis of charging infrastructure and business models in e-mobility has been a key driver in determining the direction of charging station expansion and operation. EAAZE excels in this area, as our flexible and customizable options for tariff and pricing structures have been further enhanced since our last major release. Learn how to unlock the full potential of your charging stations and how to turn electric mobility into a sustainable and economically successful business model.

We look forward to engaging in person with a wide variety of stakeholders in the e-mobility sector – to forge new connections, deepen existing ones, gain fresh insights, and shape the future of e-mobility together.

EAAZE E-Mobility Made Simple and Successful

On March 25 and 26, 2026, the trade show “Flotte! The Industry Gathering” will take place for the tenth time—one of the most important gathering places for the fleet management industry in the German-speaking world. Companies, service providers, and decision-makers from the fields of fleet management, mobility, electric mobility, and fleet services will gather here to discuss the latest trends, technologies, and solutions.

This year, EAAZE will be participating as an exhibitor for the first time. At the event, we’ll present our solutions for modern and flexible fleet management and invite fleet managers, system providers, leasing companies, and industry representatives to engage in personal discussions.

Fleet Management Reimagined

With our software solution, EAAZE offers companies, fleet operators, software providers, and leasing companies a customizable fleet portal for modern digital fleet management.

The platform can be flexibly adapted to different requirements and helps companies efficiently digitize and automate fleet processes.
Company car drivers can register themselves in the Fleet Portal and, for example, have charging sessions at home billed simply and automatically. Reimbursement of electricity costs is handled transparently and efficiently, without any additional administrative burden for the company.

White-Label Fleet Portal with Flexible Integration

A key component of the solution is the white-label feature. The Fleet Portal can be fully customized to match the corporate design of the respective company, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into existing digital environments.

In addition, EAAZE offers a business API that allows the Fleet Portal to be easily integrated into existing fleet management systems, mobility platforms, or directly into the company intranet.

Additional benefits of the EAAZE solution:

• Automated billing for charging sessions
• Hardware-independent software solution
• Integration into existing fleet and mobility systems
• Flexible adaptation to different fleet structures

Thanks to its hardware-independent design, companies can continue to use their existing charging infrastructure while remaining flexible for future expansions.

EAAZE at “Flotte! 2026”

At “Flotte! The Industry Gathering 2026,” EAAZE will present the new Fleet Portal for the first time, along with its complete portfolio of services covering fleet management, charging infrastructure, and billing solutions for electric fleets.

📍 Visit us in Hall 6, Booth 6/F11.

We look forward to meeting you in person and having exciting discussions about the future of digital fleet management.
