Lithuania Electric Vehicle Market – 2025 Overview (BEV & PHEV)

After a challenging 2024, Lithuania’s electric vehicle (EV) market returned to growth in 2025, with both BEVs and PHEVs growing. This year, Lithuania registered 3,150 new battery electric passenger cars (BEVs), up from 1,779 in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 77.1%. Plug-in hybrid passenger car (PHEV) registrations reached 4,448 in 2025, up from 1,685 in 2024, an increase of 164.0%. 

Total passenger car registrations in Lithuania grew 39.3% in 2025 to 41,974. Based on these figures, BEVs accounted for approximately 7.5% of new passenger car registrations in 2025, while PHEVs accounted for around 10.6%. Combined, BEVs and PHEVs represented about 18.1% of Lithuania’s new passenger car market in 2025.

Newly registered alternative fuelled (BEV, PHEV, H2, LPG, CNG, LNG) passenger cars as a percentage of the total number of registrations.

Commercial vehicles also presented significant growth: 368 BEV vans were registered in 2025, compared with 76 in 2024 (+384.2%). Total van registrations reached 3,901 units in 2025, up from 2,893 in 2024 (+34.8%). Electrically chargeable vans therefore represented approximately 9.4% of the Lithuanian van market in 2025. 

Buses also presented significant growth, with 222 BEV buses registered in 2025, up from 75 in 2024 (+196.0%). Total bus registrations reached 427 units in 2025, compared to 269 in 2024 (+58.7%), which means e-buses represented approximately 52.0% of the Lithuanian bus market in 2025. 

E-trucks, meanwhile, remained few and far between in the country, with only 5 units registered (up from 3 in 2024) and a marginal market share of only 0.05% of total truck registrations in 2025. 

Lithuania’s charging infrastructure has expanded in parallel with the growth in EV registrations. The country went from 2.947 charging points at the end of 2024 to 4,713 (2,744 AC, 1,969 DC) a year later. Nearly half of the chargers in the country are AC points with between 7.5kW and 22kW of power, whereas a quarter of them are DC chargers between 150kW and 350kW.  

Looking ahead to 2026, Lithuania’s EV market is expected to continue expanding, supported by broader availability of new BEV and PHEV models, the arrival of more affordable options, improving charging infrastructure coverage, and ongoing European-level policy direction toward transport electrification. Passenger BEV and PHEV market shares may continue rising from their combined 2025 level of roughly 18%, while commercial electrification is likely to remain uneven across segments: electric vans may continue gaining traction as fleet operators decarbonize urban logistics, electric trucks are expected to grow gradually from a low base as total cost of ownership improves and charging networks mature, and electric buses will remain a key driver of electrification due to public procurement and city transport initiatives.
