– The number of newly registered passenger cars fell clearly in 2024. The most clear decline is visible among the clean electric cars that decreased from 113,571 to 97,079. This corresponds to a decrease of more than 14 percent, says Mikael AnderssonPress Manager at the Swedish Transport Agency.
A trend break
It has been the first time since the measurements were introduced that the number of registered electric cars decreased.
– It is difficult to point out a single explanation for the change. The abolition of the climate bonus can be a contributing cause, political decisions that have lowered the cost of fossil fuel another. But also that we live in financially uncertain times and an electric car is generally expensive in purchasing and it can affect. There are probably several contributing reasons for the development, says Mikael Andersson.

The values are based on wltp
The statistics come from the figures reported to the Swedish Transport Agency by car manufacturers when registered in the road traffic register.
Since 2020, these values will be based on the test cycle WLTP, a measurement method corresponding to a more realistic driving style than the previous test cycle NEDC.
The emission values from WLTP are generally higher than from NEDC, which is why figures from 2019 and earlier in can be compared to those after.
