Number of electric vehicles in Hungary climbs over 900

Budapest, July 18 (MTI) – The number of electric vehicles on Hungarian roads has reached 932, business daily Világgazdaság said on Monday.

The number is up from 361 at the end of January, the paper said citing government data.

Peter Erdelyi, who heads the Hungarian Association of Vehicle Importers, told the paper that most of the vehicles can be found in Budapest and in the surrounding Pest County. The goal is to raise the number over 10,000 by 2020, but this will require big investments in infrastructure, such as charging stations, he added.

Electric vehicles in Hungary can be identified by green number plates.
