Finland, known for its commitment to sustainability, is embracing electric vehicles as a key solution for reducing carbon emissions in its transportation sector.

CO2 emissions exert a profound influence on climate and the environment, fueling the greenhouse effect and contributing significantly to global climate change. Nearly one-fourth of these emissions worldwide can be attributed to the transportation sector. Electric vehicles (EVs) emerge as a promising solution, potentially acting as a carbon-neutral alternative when powered by renewable energy sources. This underscores their pivotal role in mitigating the impact of traditional combustion engine vehicles on the environment.

The Electric Vehicles market includes information about electric vehicles in countries where, according to our sources, a public electric vehicle charging infrastructure is already available. In this context, “public” means that people have unrestricted access to the charging infrastructure. A vehicle can be defined as electric if it is self-contained with a battery or classified as a plug-in hybrid. All key figures shown represent the sales of new cars, and their basic configuration in the respective year. The figures do not include the sale of used vehicles nor adapted equipment for the new cars sold. The prices and revenues shown are accordingly based on the basic models.

The Electric Vehicle market is divided into distinct two distinct markets, namely Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This categorization allows for a nuanced understanding of the market dynamics, considering the specific attributes and market penetration of each electric vehicle type. The emphasis on new car sales and their foundational configurations ensures clarity, while the exclusion of used vehicles and customizations maintains focus on the evolving landscape of electric vehicles.

The Electric Vehicles market in Finland has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: One of the main reasons for the increasing popularity of electric vehicles in Finland is the growing concern for the environment. Finnish consumers are becoming more conscious of the impact of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles on climate change and are actively seeking greener alternatives. Electric vehicles offer a cleaner and more sustainable mode of transportation, which aligns with the environmentally conscious mindset of Finnish consumers. Additionally, the government has introduced various incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, further driving consumer preferences towards electric vehicles.

Trends in the market: The electric vehicle market in Finland has witnessed a surge in demand in recent years. This can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, advancements in technology have led to improved battery performance and increased driving range, addressing one of the main concerns of potential electric vehicle buyers. As a result, consumers are now more confident in the reliability and practicality of electric vehicles. Secondly, the availability of a wider range of electric vehicle models in the market has also contributed to the increased adoption. With more options to choose from, consumers can find electric vehicles that suit their specific needs and preferences. Lastly, the establishment of a robust charging infrastructure across the country has alleviated concerns regarding the accessibility and convenience of charging electric vehicles, making them a more viable option for daily commuting.

Local special circumstances: Finland's geographical location and climate present unique challenges for electric vehicle adoption. The country experiences long and harsh winters, which can negatively affect the performance of electric vehicle batteries. However, Finnish consumers have shown resilience in overcoming this challenge by opting for electric vehicles with advanced battery heating systems and improved cold weather performance. Additionally, the government has invested in expanding the charging infrastructure in rural areas, ensuring that electric vehicle owners have access to charging facilities even in remote locations.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Finland has set ambitious climate targets and aims to become carbon neutral by 2035. To achieve this goal, the government has implemented various policies and initiatives to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. These include tax incentives, subsidies, and grants for electric vehicle purchases. Furthermore, Finland has a well-developed renewable energy sector, which provides a sustainable and clean source of electricity for charging electric vehicles. The combination of supportive government policies and a reliable renewable energy infrastructure has created a favorable environment for the growth of the electric vehicle market in Finland.
