Croatia remains at the bottom of Europe’s electric vehicle adoption rankings, with battery-only electric cars making up just 1.8% of all new passenger car registrations in 2024—far below the EU average of 13.6%, according to new data published by Eurostat.
The stark figures place Croatia bottom among EU countries, ahead are with only Slovakia (2.4%) and Poland (3.0%). In contrast, electric vehicles made up more than half of new car registrations in Denmark (51.3%), followed by Malta (37.7%) and Sweden (34.9%).

The data also reveals a broader slowdown in the EU electric car market. New battery-electric car registrations across the Union fell by 6.1%, dropping from 1.55 million in 2023 to 1.45 million in 2024. Despite this, the total number of battery-only EVs in the EU fleet grew by 32.4%, now totaling 5.87 million vehicles.
