One month of data does not make a trend! Perhaps special factors (not mentioned in or left out of the article) were also at work (e.g. tax subsidies)!
The article compares two different geographic areas, a larger one for EV vehicles with a smaller one for gas powered vehicles. Nice try!
"Inside EV’s reports that European consumers purchased more than 300,000 electric vehicles during December, marking a historic milestone in the automotive industry as EVs overtook traditional internal combustion engine vehicles in monthly sales figures.
The December sales figures show that 308,955 new electric vehicles were registered across the European Union, United Kingdom, and European Free Trade Association countries, which include Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Within the European Union alone, 217,898 electric vehicles were registered during the month. Both regional totals showed increases of just over 50 percent compared to the same period in 2024. ...
Traditional gasoline-powered vehicles registered 216,492 units in the European Union during December, representing a 19.2 percent decrease from 2024 figures. ...
However, hybrid vehicles currently maintain the leading position in European automotive sales. In December, 380,921 hybrid cars were registered across the EU, EFTA, and UK territories, while the European Union alone saw 324,799 hybrid vehicle registrations."
