The REUS 2025 survey reveals that the share of newly registered electric and hybrid vehicles has grown strongly, representing almost a third (32%) of all new vehicle registrations in 2024, which is eight times more than in 2019. However, their share among all passenger vehicles reaches a modest 6%. When purchasing an alternative-powertrain vehicle, households opt for hybrids (26%) much more often than for fully electric models (6%), which is likely a result of more favorable prices and less dependence on charging infrastructure. On the other hand, Slovenia is facing an aging existing vehicle fleet with less energy-efficient vehicles. The share of cars older than 15 years has doubled since 2010 and now stands at a significant 28%. This is a consequence of the fact that households rarely decide to buy new cars, which results in a high average age of cars, and it will take a long time for our vehicle fleet to become less energy-intensive.
