More Electric Cars in the Balearic Islands: Sales Rise Sharply

Answer

What’s driving Mallorca’s move toward electric cars?

High fuel prices make petrol cars less attractive, and the price gap between electric and conventional vehicles is narrowing. Models are increasingly aligned with future EU rules on emissions, and some estimate annual savings around €700 for typical drivers who travel about 10,000 kilometres a year. Policymakers also suggest incentives for used electric vehicles would help broaden the transition.
