Internal Combustion Cars Continue Show Strong Sales
Despite global shifts toward electric vehicles, internal combustion engine (ICE) cars remain dominant in sales so far this year. EV growth is still lagging, and consumers are taking a cautious approach.
Current Market Trends
- Overall vehicle sales remain stable with ICE models accounting for most purchases.
- Growth in EV adoption remains modest compared to ICE cars this year.
- Consumers continue to weigh long-term fuel savings against higher upfront costs of EVs.
Reasons Behind the Slow EV Growth
- Limited public charging infrastructure still hinders EV acceptance.
- EVs have higher purchase prices despite lower running costs.
- Many buyers prefer the familiarity and perceived reliability of ICE vehicles.
This pattern suggests that while EVs are poised for growth, traditional ICE cars remain the preferred choice for now. Continued policy support and infrastructure development may be needed to speed up EV adoption.
