Tehran [Iran], March 27: Petrol price spikes triggered by the war in Iran are boosting used electric vehicle sales across Europe, online car platforms told Reuters, in an early sign that pain at the pump is pushing consumers away from combustion engines. "There is currently an electric car bonanza in the used market," said Terje Dahlgren, an analyst at Norway's largest used-car marketplace Finn.no, adding that EVs have recently overtaken diesel models as the site's best-selling fuel type.
