Electric vehicle registrations
The dynamics of mobility electrification: the share of electric vehicles in new and used passenger car registrations, and disparities across departments.
Passenger cars only (excluding light commercial vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and public transport).

Fuel mix shift (new cars)
Fuel composition of new passenger car registrations, as a 100% stacked share. New cars are the frontier of electrification: this is where the electric share progresses fastest, at the expense of diesel then petrol.

EV fleet in circulation (stock)
Registrations measure the flow (cars put on the road each year); the fleet measures the stock (all passenger cars in circulation on 1 January). The electric share of the fleet rises more slowly than that of registrations, as it takes time for fleet turnover to work through.
Fleet electrification, year by year

Quarterly fleet view (Agence ORE)
The SDES fleet is annual; Agence ORE (AAA Data) publishes the fleet quarterly. Here we track the share of plug-in electric passenger cars in the fleet in circulation — a four-times-finer cadence, and fresher than the annual snapshot.
Fleet electrification, quarter by quarter
Share of plug-in electric passenger cars in the fleet in circulation, at each quarter-end.
