but the electric car can’t run – Corriere.it

Just a skid or did the Italian car really derail? The question comes to look data on June registrations from the Ministry of Transport: 138,927 registrations, 9.19% more than in the same month in 2022, while in the six months they totaled 684,262 (+22.96% compared to the same period last year). So far nothing bad. Except that the June data comes after “a good eight double-digit growths with 40.78% in March and 29.21% in April”, as underlined by the Centro Studi Promotor which wonders whether “the party for car is already finished or if the slowdown in June is just a hiccup ».

Stellantis registered 43,099 passenger cars, a drop of 11.1% from the 48,468 vehicles registered in June of the previous year. The market share, based on the numbers processed by the automotive group on Dataforce sources, is 31%, down from the 38.2% market share recorded in June 2022. Although since January the group has seen 279,373 vehicle registrations rise (+9.7% compared to the 254,732 units registered in the first six months of 2022).

The Panda is the best-selling model

The Panda remains the best-selling model with 6,705 units, followed on the podium by Dacia Sandero (4,500) and Lancia Ypsilon (4,344 units).

In fourth place was Ford Puma (3,161), followed by Toyota Yaris Cross (2,901), Volkswagen T-Roc (2,834), Fiat 500X (2,766), Dacia Duster (2,448), Mg Zs (2,351) and Alfa Romeo Tonale (2,294) . On the full electric front, Tesla recorded a +53.19% to 1,751 units (1.26% market share). Beyond the Stellantis group, Volkswagen is the second brand by market share with 8.22% to 11,414 units and an increase of 11.32% compared to June 2022. It did better than the Renault market (+30, 3% to 7,499 units and market share up to 5.4%).

As for electric cars, they continue to rise, but despite the “goal” of 200,000 electric cars on the road, the pace of the increase remains too slow compared to other major European countries, underlines Motus-E. In June, 6,156 full electric cars were registered in the register (+3% compared to the same month in 2022), with the first half closing at +31.9% to 32,684 units. Overall, the Italian car market expands by 9.3% in June and by 22.8% in the first half of the year, with the market share of electric cars rising from 3.6% to just 3.9% . “Faced with these numbers, it is essential to start a serious reflection on the modification of the current incentive tools”, explains the general secretary of Motus-E, Francesco Naso. A theme on which also beats theThe new president of Anfia, Roberto Vavassori: «The figure for 2019 remains distant, the last almost normal year for sales in the sector, with over 19% of sales to be recovered. In the summer months, registrations follow a natural downward trendnot to mention that potential buyers are conditioned by the expectation of the announced remodulation of the incentives currently in force for the purchase of very low and zero-emission cars which it is essential to implement soon, to stimulate demand and accelerate the renewal of the circulating fleet from a green perspective”.

«We are still far from the objectives of the energy transition, but the accumulated delay can still be recovered and the decarbonisation process accelerated by finally intervening on the open front of taxation of company cars for mixed use, on the distortions of the 2022-24 scheme of incentives for low-emission cars, on the intensification and maximum diffusion of recharging infrastructures”. This was underlined by the president of Unrae, Michele Crisci, commenting on the data on car sales in Italy in June. Crisci adds that “for too long we have been waiting for the issuing of the rules by the Mimit for the purchase and installation of charging stations by private individuals and condominiums” and hopes “a rapid convocation of the awaited Automotive Table, which guarantees an authentic comparison, and not a posteriori, with all the players in the supply chain.
