8 VW Group models among the 10 best-selling BEVs in Germany in the first 4 months of 2025
17 June 2025

- The German BEV market is currently experiencing a strong recovery in 2025 compared to 2024. In the first four months of 2025, there were 157,007 BEVs registered on this market, compared to 109,603 units in the first four months of 2024, which represents an increase of 43%.

- It should be noted that the German BEV market fell by 11.5% in the first four months of 2024 compared to the first four months of 2023, due to the cessation at the end of 2023 of subsidies for the purchase of BEVs implemented.

- Which carmaker has benefited the most from this revival of the German BEV market? And which has benefited the least?

- The carmaker that has benefited most from the revival of the German BEV market is undoubtedly the Volkswagen Group, which has gone from 31,728 sales in the first four months of 2024 to 75,019 units in the first four months of 2025, its market share increasing from 29% to 48% in this BEV market. The Volkswagen Group thus places eight models in the Top 10 (compared to five the previous year) and eleven models in the Top 25 (compared to seven the previous year). The ID7, now the leader of the German BEV market, is enjoying unexpected success, given its high-end positioning.

- Other carmakers benefited less from this recovery, their market share often remaining stable, except for Ford, which increased from 1% in 2024 to 2% in 2025. The carmakers that benefited least from the recovery were Mercedes, with a market share falling from 15% in 2024 to 7% in 2025, and Tesla, with a market share falling from 13% in 2024 to 4% in 2025. According to these figures, it would seem that a large part of the customer base has moved from Mercedes and Tesla to Volkswagen.

Gruenheide (Tesla) and Zwickau (VW) are the only BEV factories to have exceeded 200,000 vehicles in 2024
04 June 2025

- While the market for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Europe (30 countries) declined slightly (-1.3%) in 2024 compared to 2023, with a volume of 1,993,102 sales compared to 2,019,401 the previous year, the production volume of this type of car in Europe (30 countries) declined more sharply (-7.0%) in 2024 compared to 2023, to 1.73 million units, according to Inovev. The decline in BEV sales in 2024 therefore affected models produced in Europe more than models produced outside Europe.

- Inovev has listed the European plants producing BEVs and estimated the production volume of these BEVs in 2024.

- Tesla's Gruenheide plant produced the highest number BEVs in Europe last year, with 216,409 units, according to Inovev. This will likely no longer be the case in 2025, as Tesla sales are currently plummeting in Europe (-37% in the first quarter) and all of the brand's models are affected.

- The second largest BEV plant in Europe in 2024 is VW Zwickau (203,242 units), followed by BMW Dingolfing (176,822 units) and VW Emden (108,423 units). German plants are therefore at the forefront.

- The leading French plant is fifth, Renault Douai (89,921 units), followed by the leading Czech plant, Skoda Mlada Boleslav (82,538 units). These six factories accounted for 50% of BEV production in Europe.

- It should be noted that the battery electric vehicle market grew significantly in Europe (+27.9%) in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, to 573,500 units compared to 448,228 a year earlier, which will boost BEV production in Europe during this period because European models produced in Europe seem to be the first beneficiaries of this growth.
