Record Growth in European EV Market
In June, Europe recorded 366,000 fully electric vehicle (BEV) registrations, marking a 50% increase compared to the previous year. This represents the fastest growth rate this year and establishes a new record for BEV sales in the region. The surge is attributed to factors such as the introduction of new, more affordable models and the increased presence of Chinese manufacturers in the market.
Market Share Shift Towards Electrification
The year-to-date market share for BEVs has reached 26%, exceeding the 2025 projection of 20% BEV share. When combined with plugin hybrids (PHEVs), the total plugin vehicle share for June was 37%, with BEVs accounting for 71% of all plugin sales. This indicates a growing preference for BEVs over PHEVs, a trend also observed in other major markets.
Decline of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles
Conversely, traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles experienced a decline in sales. Petrol car sales dropped by 12% in June, holding a 21% market share, while diesel sales fell by 17% year-over-year, now accounting for only 6% of the market. This trend suggests a rapid phasing out of non-electrified vehicles in Europe.
Overall Market Trends
The overall European automotive market grew by 13% year-over-year in June, reaching 1.4 million units. Plugless hybrids (HEVs) also saw growth, increasing by 17% year-over-year and securing a 35% market share.
