E-MOBILITY-RANKING

Munich, May 2026

Our new e-mobility country ranking 2025 evaluates the global progress of electric mobility across 35 countries and enables a direct comparison of national developments. Under the leadership of Berylls by AlixPartners Partner & Managing Director Dr. Alexander Timmer, the study assesses the relevance of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in achieving climate goals and examines the evolution of charging infrastructure from 2019 to 2025.

 

Executive Summary / Introduction

Over the past five years, BEVs have moved from niche to core, reaching roughly one in five new-car sales in Europe by 2025 and creating a structurally relevant demand base for charging. Momentum is strongest where policy, industry, and infrastructure send consistent, long-term signals via binding targets, BEV-favoring tax regimes, and streamlined permitting, rather than volatile purchase subsidies. For investors and charge point operators, this is translating into an uneven but attractive landscape: highly penetrated Nordic and Benelux markets, while smaller in absolute fleet size, offer visible, defensible cash flows, whereas large, mature markets such as DACH, France, and the UK form the financial backbone of portfolios. At the same time, fast-growing but less mature Southern and Eastern European regions represent the primary pool of upside and risk, where early, well-positioned infrastructure bets can capture outsized value.
