Following closely behind, Denmark claims the second spot on the list, with 4.02% of its total 2,801,076 registered vehicles being electric. Sweden secures the third position, with 3.97% of its 4,979,761 registered vehicles running on electric power.

The Netherlands occupies the fourth place, with 3.7% of its total vehicle count of 8,917,707 being electric. Meanwhile, Luxembourg rounds out the top five, with 3.13% of its 444,818 registered vehicles being electric.

Luka Stojčević, a spokesperson for Vignettecroatia.com, highlighted the growing accessibility of electric vehicles but acknowledged that they remain a premium purchase for many Europeans.

Stojčević said: "Even some of Europe’s highest income countries, as seen in this list, still see electric vehicles as a rarity compared to other fuel types.  However, as technology improves and overall production becomes cheaper, we can expect this list to shuffle around as more countries buy into the market.”
