What is the share of PHEVs in models sold in Europe?
- In the European automotive market in 2021, plug-in hybrid models (PHEVs) are split into two categories. Those which are sold exclusively in plug-in hybrid version and those which are also available in thermal version, in hybrid version (HEV) or in battery electric version (BEV). There are very few models sold exclusively in PHEV version in Europe, as we counted four in the European market. Models sold both in PHEV and thermal, hybrid or electric are more numerous, with more than seventy, and it is interesting to know the share the PHEV version in the total sales of each of these models in Europe.
- The models that are sold in Europe mainly with PHEV engines (ie between 35% and 90% in PHEV) are around twenty. There are the Mitsubishi Outlander (89%), the Porsche Panamera (70%), the Porsche Cayenne (69%), the Volvo XC90 (61%), the Kia Niro (51%), the BMW X5 (50%) among the best-selling models in PHEV version, apart from those sold exclusively in PHEV version.
- By body type, it is interesting to note that most of the PHEV versions sold in Europe are SUVs (around fifty models available) which confirms the fact that the PHEVs target vehicles which are motorized mainly in diesel version, therefore mainly medium and large SUVs. We note that the models concerned are often Premium brands, such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Land-Rover, and therefore the most expensive brands. These Premium models concern around forty of the seventy PHEV models, meaning the majority.
