Gasoline or Electric Car

– See what the research said

Since the first months of 2026, according to research, the European market has absorbed a large volume of new cars, significantly increasing the sales rate compared to last year.

Electric cars are now approaching gasoline-powered cars in sales. A large part of the market is also occupied by purely electric cars. Of course, hybrids (mild hybrid & full hybrid) would not be missing from the top, a choice that is quite popular with European buyers.

What is the situation in Greece according to research for 2026?

Since the beginning of the year, hybrids have held the lead in the car market, while gasoline is in second place, recording a significant decrease compared to the previous year.

Finally, Plug-in Hybrid cars are increasing in the Greek market, while diesel continues to decrease significantly.

Ultimately, what is more beneficial and what should you prefer?

An electric car is more cost-effective in the long term in terms of use and maintenance costs than a gasoline car. However, a gasoline car remains more economical in the initial purchase.

The choice directly depends on the kilometers you drive annually.

Whatever your choice, the important thing is to find the vehicle that meets your needs. At Drive, you have choices in vehicle categories and models, for every route and every need.
