The report, titled ‘The Great Acceleration: East Meets Electric,’ highlights that all five tracked markets—France, Romania, Portugal, Poland, and South Africa—experienced double or triple-digit year-on-year growth in EV leads as of June 2026. Notably, France saw a 206% increase, while Portugal remains the most mature market with EVs constituting 14.9% of leads. Chinese manufacturers, particularly MG and BYD, are pivotal in this growth, adapting their strategies to local market conditions and offering more affordable EV options, thereby enhancing accessibility for consumers.
