Vienna Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus: Electric cars dominate with 58% new registrations!

Wien-Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Österreich - The switch to electromobility makes veritable progress in Austria. As a current report from W24 shows, there are now districts in which the proportion of electric cars exceeds the 50 percent mark in new registrations. The Vienna-Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus district with a remarkable share of 58 percent in new cars, followed by Vienna-Mariahilf, where 56 percent of new cars are also electric. These figures come from the Verkehrsclub Austria (VCÖ) and are based on current data from statistics Austria.

This is how the e-car shares are considered, it is exciting to see that Linz among the state capitals is at the forefront of 29 percent, while Burgenland and Styria are currently the lowest values. The VCÖ analyzes that the CO2 emissions of electric vehicles are 53 percent lower compared to conventional diesel cars, which not only makes the changeover ecologically sensible, but also a question of sustainability.

The situation in the districts

The distribution of the electric cars can also be seen in the districts outside of Vienna. The Rohrbach district in the Mühlviertel, with almost 35 percent e-car share, has one of the strongest odds. This is accompanied by Kirchdorf (31 percent) and Graz environment (30 percent). In contrast, there are only two districts-Liezen and Reutte-which significantly lag behind with less than 10 percent e-car share.

• Top 5 districts with e-car shares for new registrations:
  • Wien Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus: 58%
  • Vienna Mariahilf: 56%
  • Rohrbach district: Almost 35%
  • k Kirchdorf: 31%
  • Graz environment: 30%
• districts with less than 10% e-car share:
  • Liezen: approx. 4%
  • reutte: approx. 6%

Another interesting detail: Around 80 percent of the newly approved diesel cars have heard of companies or legal entities. Experts are therefore calling for an end to the tax benefits for diesel and privately used company cars to further strengthen the trend towards electromobility. This increases the pressure to sharpen incentives for electric cars.

the look into the future

The number of electric vehicles in Austria is increasing steadily. Around 244,000 electric vehicles, including hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, are currently registered in Austria. Electric cars are particularly popular, of which around 155,500 are traveling in road traffic in 2023. The new registrations have also developed positively: over 71,000 new electric vehicles were registered in 2023, a big plus compared to 2022 with 53,900 new registrations.

For the nationwide expansion of electromobility, charging infrastructure and energy requirements also play a crucial role. The number of available e-charging stations in Austria is currently around 18,600, with most of which can be found in Lower Austria. Vienna provides the second largest number with around 2,500 charging stations. Experts point out that the additional electricity requirement for electromobility in Austria will be around 20 terawatt hours per year.

Overall, Austria shows itself well positioned on the way to electromobility. A look at the developments gives hope for a greener future in which switching to electrical vehicles becomes the rule. The W24 report emphasizes that Vienna-Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus acts as a pioneer here and impressively demonstrates the potential of electromobility.
