These are catalogue figures — manufacturer and importer specifications, not traffic register data.
The whole catalogue on one chart: price across, WLTP range up. The ten cars with the best range-for-price are highlighted and named. The dashed lines join cars that give the same range per €1000 — a car above a line gives more. Point at the chart, or tap it, to see a car's figures.
How many new electric cars each make registered in 2026, and what share of all new electric cars that is. Makes with no models in the catalogue are not linked.
Ranked by how large a share of a county's own new cars were electric, not by how many were registered. Harju county buys the most of everything, so raw counts mostly report where people live.

* Fewer than 100 new cars registered in the period — the share is shown, but the sample is too small to rank on. The county is the one recorded for the car's owner or responsible user.
Companies registered 62% of the new electric cars, against 69% of all new passenger cars.
Counts cover new passenger cars first registered in the traffic register (categories M1 and M1G). Vans, trucks, buses, trailers and motorcycles are excluded. Only fully electric cars count as electric — plug-in hybrids are shown separately.
