Electric cars accounted for nearly half of all new registrations in Finland in May

Finland registered 6,783 new cars in May 2026, which is 1% fewer than in the same period the previous year. Notably, electric cars accounted for nearly half of all new registrations.

Finland registered a total of 6,783 new cars in May 2026, representing a slight decline – specifically 1% compared to May results the previous year.

Particularly noteworthy is the share of electric cars: nearly half of all new vehicles registered in May were fully electric. This demonstrates that electromobility is becoming an increasingly common choice in the Finnish car market.

Finland's electric car market growth reflects broader Nordic trends, where government incentives and well-developed charging infrastructure have accelerated the transition to electric vehicles.
