Cyprus trails northern Europe in electric car adoption

Cyprus remains stuck in the slow lane of Europe’s green transition, with electric vehicles accounting for just 0.51 per cent of the island’s passenger car fleet in 2024, according to Eurostat.

Because of its size, Cyprus is treated as a single region in the dataset examining the share of electric passenger cars by region in 2024.

The figures show that Cyprus remains far behind the leading northern European regions, where the adoption of electric vehicles is significantly higher.
