Celebrate Austria: Districts crack 50% e-car share for the first time!
In Austria there is reason to be happy: For the first time, districts reach an e-car share for new registrations of over 50 percent. This was reported ÖKONEWS . The districts of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus and Mariahilf are particularly characterized in Vienna with proportions of 58 percent and 56 percent. This development is a significant step towards more sustainable mobility in the city.
The VCÖ (Verkehrsclub Austria) emphasizes that Linz also has the highest proportion of e-car among the state capitals. Impressive 28.8 percent are available here. The location in Salzburg and Upper Austria, where 25 percent of all new cars are electric cars, is another sign of change towards e-mobility. However, in the overall view, the petrol and diesel still have tax ceremony, which is why the VCÖ calls for the end of the tax benefits for diesel and petrol for diesel.
e-car shares in detail
A detailed view of the e-car shares in the first half of 2025 shows that Vienna is in third place among the federal states with 24.2 percent. The VCÖ lists the shares as follows:
| federal state | e-car content
| |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Austria | 25.2% | 5.736 |
| Salzburg | 25.2% | 2.933 |
| Vienna | 24.2% | 6.595 |
| Burgenland | 23.3% | 1.012 |
| Styria | 17% | 3.551 |
CO2 emissions and the way to the future
The average CO2 emissions of new diesel cars have risen to almost 153 g/km, which is sobering.95 percent of the diesel cars have been approved on companies or legal persons, and many of these vehicles should benefit from the known tax advantages. The individual federal states drive these circumstances towards more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Fortunately, electric cars have a 53 percent lower CO2 emission compared to conventional vehicles, and up to 70 percent less when using green electricity. This makes her a clear winner on the subject of climate balance. As an additional incentive, the energy consumption per kilometer at electric cars is three times lower than in combustion engines, which makes the decision to change even more attractive. This was also confirmed by an article on SPIEGEL .Austria is on the right track to a greener future. With the increasing proportion of e-car and the focus on more environmentally friendly mobility, the country will start making the positive difference for the environment. It remains to be hoped that this development is progressing and the political framework is continuously changing in favor of sustainable solutions.
