This resolves according to the number published by ACEA, like this one: https://www.acea.auto/figure/fuel-types-of-new-passenger-cars-in-eu/

In 2021 the number for BEV was 9.1%, up from 1% in 2018, 1.9% in 2019 and 5.4% in 2020.

The EU have decided to ban the sale of new fossil fueled cars from 2035 so presumably that will be the last possible year this can resolve to, but considering how fast BEVs have risen it may well be a majority much earlier.

UPDATE: The number for 2022 was 12.1%

The number for 2023 was 14.6%

The number for 2024 was 13.6%

Because of Manifolds stupid system of "never close before resolve or we will pester you with notifications about resolving" I have changed the closing date to 2030-12-31.
