Number of battery electric cars in Hungary climbs over 60,000

The number of fully electric cars in Hungary rose over 60,000 in September, the Energy Ministry said in a post on social media on Monday.

The ministry said the number of battery-electric vehicles in Hungary, including electric trucks and buses, stood close to 65,000.

Alone in September, 2,072 BEVs were registered in Hungary.

Hungary’s government has earmarked HUF 60bn (EUR 149.26) for programs promoting electromobility, including incentives for BEV purchases and the construction of charging infrastructure.

As we wrote a few days earlier, the Budapest Public Transport Centre (BKK) has signed 12-year contracts with ArrivaBus to put 70 new electric buses by BYD into service from spring 2026, details HERE.
