This means an increase of over 300% year-over-year compared to 2019. Of course the overall numbers are still very low compared to other countries since Greece was one of the last countries where they strengthened the market for electric vehicles additional subsidies.

In terms of Plug-in Hybrid models Volvo was the winner for 2020 with the XC40 PHEV where it delivered 254 cars.

Also the Tesla Model 3 with 19 cars is in 14th place, but like the ID.3 Tesla cars started to be delivered literally at the last minute of the year 2019. Very good numbers also for Porsche Taycan where with 19 units equals the sales of the Model 3.

A total of 679 pure electric vehicles were sold on the Greek market while plug-in hybrids reached 1,456 cars. And for 2021 the prevalence of PHEVs is predicted since the charging infrastructure in Greece is still very poor and also Greek buyers are not yet familiar with the idea of electric vehicles.
