EV market share in Greece has largely stagnated over the last couple of years despite incentives. It is important that Greece is able to transition quickly as they tend to hold onto cars for longer than many countries. This means that replacement of ICE vehicles will be slower as cars are scrapped later. This will have knock on effects on the likelihood that Greece will be able to achieve the 2050 net zero carbon emissions goal. The country does have scrappage schemes available for particularly old cars and taxis which will help to tackle this issue.

The Greek government adopted an electromobility plan to boost numbers of EVs - both by pledging support from grants until at least the end of 2024, and by rolling out a charging infrastructure strategy which ensures that the whole country will have access to publicly available charge points. At the moment coverage is somewhat spotty, which can make longer trips harder to plan.
