Electric car sales in Czechia expected to rise by 45 percent this year

Electric car sales in Czechia are expected to reach 20,000 this year, up 45 percent from 2025, according to Jiří Maláček, head of Škoda Auto’s Czech operations. Electric vehicles are projected to account for eight percent of new car sales, up from 5.6 percent last year. However, Czechia remains among the EU countries with the lowest electric-car uptake; the EU average reached 22.7 percent in January–September. Škoda currently holds a third of the domestic electric car market, with more than 5,000 sold in the first ten months. The expansion is supported by around 10,000 charging points nationwide. Škoda plans to phase out diesel engines in its Octavia next year.
