Declining sales of electric vehicles in the European Union
Eviralnews,, quoted by Euronews, the sales of electric cars in EU member states, especially in Germany, decreased while government financial incentives for these cars were removed and consumers also spend less due to economic problems.

A total of 102,705 electric vehicles were sold in July, with their market share reaching 12.1 percent compared to 13.5 percent recorded in the same month last year.
EU passenger car registrations rose 0.2 percent year-on-year to 852,051 in July, the association's data showed.
It was the second month in a row of growth, although it was much slower than the 4.3 percent growth seen in June.
In the seven months to the end of July, vehicle registrations in the union increased by 3.9 percent year-on-year to a total of more than 6.5 million sales, with electric vehicle registrations accounting for 12.5 percent of the total market share. .
The main countries driving registration growth in July were Spain with a 3.4 percent increase and Italy with a 4.7 percent increase. Vehicle registrations in Germany decreased by 2.1% and in France by 2.3%.
Germany saw a 36.8% drop in electric vehicle registrations in July. One of the reasons for the decline in sales in Germany was that the government's financial incentives for buying electric cars have been reduced, meaning the cars are too expensive for many buyers.
