In a recent discussion, Z. Mauricas highlighted that the electric vehicle (EV) revolution in Lithuania is not being impeded by prices, but rather by widespread myths and misconceptions among consumers. The statistics show that in 2025, Lithuania registered 3,150 new electric vehicles, significantly higher than the previous year's 1,779 and surpassing Latvia and Estonia's figures for the same year. Lithuania's market share for electric vehicles rose to 7.5%, positioning it above Poland and its Baltic neighbors, though still lagging behind Scandinavian countries that have a longer history of EV adoption.

Mauricas pointed out that while Lithuania's performance in the EV sector is commendable compared to many Central and Eastern European nations, there remains considerable potential for growth. He argued that the common fears surrounding pure electric vehicles deter many buyers, who tend to prefer hybrid models. In 2025, the hybrid vehicle market share in Lithuania surged to 57.3%, indicating a strong preference that may be rooted in the apprehensions about fully electric alternatives.

In conclusion, Mauricas emphasized the need for better consumer education and awareness to dispel the myths surrounding electric vehicles. The steady growth in EV registrations reflects a positive trend, but overcoming consumer skepticism is crucial for Lithuania to fully capitalize on the electric vehicle revolution and progress towards sustainable transport solutions.
