Minicars race toward electric future
Minicars race toward electric future
More than half Europe s smallest models forecast to be EVs by 2026

Led by demand for the Smart EQ ForTwo, EVs accounted for 15 percent of minicar car sales in Europe through February, up from 5.7 percent during the same period last year.
Toyota last month made a surprise announcement: It would stay in the minicar segment with a new model and continue offering internal combustion engines.
This news would have barely raised an eyebrow a few years ago, but Europe’s entry segment is undergoing a rapid transformation.
The shift to battery power will happen so fast for minicars that by 2026 more than 50 percent of all sales in the segment will be full electric, up from 15 percent in the first two months of 2021, analyst firm LMC Automotive predicts.
