The European country where even £9k won’t persuade people to buy an EV

Officials have pushed for EV adoption for well over a decade with road users securing a sizeable £9,000 (€11,000) for saying yes to one of the new electric models 

But despite this. Only 3-6% of models on the road are electric or even plug-in hybrids. 

Is cash the problem or are other concerns such as a lack of charging infrastructure also to blame for a loss of appetite? 

Luke Zammit, who runs a Maltese EV community group, told the Telegraph that conditions in Malta make it the “perfect” area to adopt EVs. 

However, this wasn’t enough to tempt people to naturally switch with families usually keeping cars for up to 25 years due to the low mileage they accumulate.

He added: “We don’t have cold weather like the UK, which can suddenly cripple the EV range. We nearly always get the full specified range.

“We also have no highways here, so it’s all low speed and we don’t make long journeys. Our conditions are so favourable as we get 300 days of sunshine a year.

“But like everywhere, the charging network is lagging. We’re hoping for more investment. A huge part of the population lives in apartments, so home charging is difficult.”

Malta is set to reduce its EV offering in 2025 with the free money cut to just €8,000 (£6,695) still funded from the overall EU finance pot.

Luke added: “The incentives are very important. Without them, the cars would still be unattainable to a lot of the population.”
