That headline figure requires some caution, however. Compared with the second quarter of 2025, sales grew by only 4%, while global first-half volumes remained approximately 1% below last year.<\/p>\n<p>The global weakness was largely caused by slower sales in China and the United States. Europe moved in the opposite direction, supported by stricter CO2 targets, new incentive schemes, and a broader selection of electric models.<\/p>\n<p>The IEA definition includes both battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids. According to harmonized ACEA registration data, these two categories represented 30.5% of new car registrations in the European Union during the first half of 2026. Battery-electric cars alone accounted for 20.7% of the market.<\/p>\n<h4>Belgium above the EU average<\/h4>\n<p>Belgium performed considerably better than the EU average. Battery-electric cars accounted for 36.1% of Belgian registrations, almost matching the Netherlands at 36.5% and remaining well ahead of Luxembourg at 29.2%, France at 28.2%, and Germany at 24.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Including plug-in hybrids, the Netherlands remains the clear regional leader, with plug-in vehicles representing 60.5% of registrations. Belgium followed at 41.8%, ahead of Germany at 35.8%, Luxembourg at 35%, and France at 33.8%.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch advantage is almost entirely explained by plug-in hybrids, which represented 24% of registrations. Belgium\u2019s PHEV share was only 5.7%, meaning the two countries were effectively level in terms of fully electric adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium\u2019s high market share nevertheless hides slowing momentum. Battery-electric registrations increased by 8.2% during the first half of the year, from 76,980 to 83,282 units. However, PHEV registrations fell by 36.7%, resulting in total plug-in registrations declining slightly compared with 2025.<\/p>\n<h4>Purchase support for private buyers<\/h4>\n<p>Germany and France are growing much faster from a lower base. German BEV registrations increased by 48%, while France recorded growth of 62.9%.<\/p>\n<p>Both countries introduced or expanded purchase support for private buyers, whereas Belgium no longer offers a general federal or Flemish subsidy for private electric car purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium\u2019s EV transition continues to be driven mainly by the company-car market. Battery-electric models represented approximately 59% of professional registrations in the first half of 2026, compared with just over 10% among private buyers. Nearly seven out of ten new electric cars were registered by companies or professional users.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is largely fiscal. Fully electric company cars remain up to 100% tax deductible in Belgium, while combustion-powered company cars are gradually losing their deductibility.<\/p>\n<p>Private households receive far less direct support and continue to face concerns about purchase prices, home charging, and resale values.<\/p>\n<h4>450,000 BEVs<\/h4>\n<p>High registration shares also do not mean that the Belgian vehicle fleet is already predominantly electric. At the end of 2025, Belgium had almost 450,000 battery-electric cars, representing about 7.5% of the total passenger-car fleet.<\/p>\n<p>The next stage of Belgian adoption will therefore depend increasingly on private buyers and the used-car market. Growing numbers of electric company cars are reaching the end of their leasing contracts, but BEVs still represented only 5.9% of second-hand registrations during the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric car sales recovered strongly in the second quarter of 2026, with Europe emerging as the fastest-growing major market.
