Recap of 2022’s best-selling EVs in Europe

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular with both individuals and companies looking to reduce their environmental impact and reduce their fuel costs. With so many different EV models on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is best for you or your business. In this blog post, we'll take a look at what the key factors can be when choosing the right electric vehicle, and which models proved to be the most popular choices in 2022.

Making the right choice

Buying an electric vehicle can be a challenging task. With so many different models available, it can be difficult to decide which one is worth investing in. From the most efficient models to the most reliable ones, it can be hard to figure out which car will best fit your needs.

• Battery capacity shows how far you can go on a single charge, making it a crucial consideration when choosing an electric vehicle. A car with a larger battery is necessary for longer journeys or road trips, though a car with a smaller one can be more suited for shorter trips like running errands around town.
• Another key factor is the cost of the vehicle as the initial purchase price of the EV can be higher (yet) than that of a traditional gas-powered car. However, many states and the federal government offer incentives to help offset the cost of buying an electric vehicle, such as tax credits, rebates, and carpool lane access.
• Lastly, you’ll want to think about the features you’re looking for. From the latest technology to the most luxurious interiors, there are so many options to choose from. Think about what’s important to you or your industry, such as safety features or charging capabilities, and make sure the model you choose has what you’re looking for.
