There has been a premiere in car registrations in Austria. Responsible for this: the Vienna districts of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus and Mariahilf.
For the first time in Austria, there have been individual districts at mid-year where the share of electric cars in new registrations exceeds 50 percent, reports the Austrian Transport Club (VCÖ) based on data from Statistics Austria. In a comparison of federal states, Salzburg and Upper Austria are leaders in new electric car registrations. Linz leads among the state capitals.
In Vienna Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, 58 percent of new cars were electric in the first half of the year, and in Vienna-Mariahilf, it was 56 percent. "What Denmark has already achieved nationwide, two districts in Austria are achieved for the first time: More than half of the newly registered cars run 100 percent on electricity," says VCÖ expert Katharina Jaschinsky.
Outside of Vienna, the share of new electric car registrations is highest in the Mühlviertel district of Rohrbach at almost 35 percent, followed by the district of Kirchdorf at 31 percent and Graz-Raum at 30 percent. Nationwide, there are only two districts with less than ten percent electric car share in new cars: the Styrian district of Liezen with around four percent and the Tyrolean district of Reutte with around six percent.
In the state capital comparison, Linz is at the top - with 29 percent. It is followed by Salzburg and Eisenstadt. Last is St. Pölten. However, in all state capitals, the share is over one-fifth.
