Electric cars take the lead for new registrations in Stuttgart for the first time!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - in Stuttgart something is happening - the city is experiencing a real change in the automotive industry. By May 31, 2023, an impressive share of 20.9 percent of new registrations on battery -electric cars (BEV) will be eliminated. This means that electric cars have now taken the lead for the first time and thus overtake both diesel (14.4 percent) and petrol engines (20.8 percent). A development that is not only gratifying, but also shows a clear trend towards e-mobility, such as stuttgart.de reported.

In the first five months of the year, 3,534 fully electric vehicles have already been re -registered in Stuttgart. The number of plug-in hybrids amounts to 2,998, while hybrids come up with 4,396 platforms. Diesel also have their place with 2,428 and petrol vehicles with 3,506 new registrations, but the turnaround is clear. In total, 64.7 percent of all new registrations are already eliminated on alternative drives. Martin Körner, the head of the fundamental department for climate protection, mobility and living, says: "Electric cars are the new standard" - and that is not a phrase.

growth of e-mobility in numbers

statistics prove the boom in electric vehicles in Germany. On January 1, 2025, the inventory of battery-electric vehicles (BEVS) in Germany counted around 1.65 million, which corresponds to an increase of 17.25 percent compared to the previous year, as Allianz Direct. The trend continues - despite a sunken growth due to expiring state grants and higher financing interest, a long -term increase can be expected to around 11.3 million vehicles by 2030.

The market share of the electric cars shows a considerable development: in 2010 it was 0.005 percent, while in 2023 it was 18.4 percent. Even if a decrease to 14 percent is forecast for 2024, the prospects remain positive in the long term. The proportion of new registrations in urban regions exceeds 20 percent, while rural areas still have catching up to do. In Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia, the numbers are the highest where the trend reversal is clearly noticeable.

dynamics of global e-mobility

But what does it look like worldwide? The figures speak for themselves: At the end of 2023 there were almost 42 million e-cars globally, with over half of it registered in China. Germany follows around 2.3 million. In this context, Statista highlights: In Norway, in Norway, over 90 percent of all new vehicles were either fully electric or plug-in-hybrid. On the other hand, established brands such as VW and Toyota are fighting for their place in the e-mobility market in an international comparison. Here it can be clearly seen that e-mobility also creates a strong change internationally, in which market leadership increasingly passes into the hands of companies such as Tesla and BYD.

A decisive factor for the acceptance of electric cars, both regionally and globally, is the charging infrastructure. While around 20.5 e-cars come to a charging point in Germany, there is a much better relationship in countries such as the Netherlands or Bulgaria. But here too it depends on the conditions on site. In order to promote e-mobility in the future, well-developed charging stations are essential.

The development of e-mobility clearly shows: Stuttgart and all of Germany are driving this change forward, and even if there are setbacks every now and then, the direction remains clear-towards a sustainable, cloudless future of mobility.
