The European BEV+PHEV fleet will represent around 15 million units in 2025
- Inovev has estimated the European vehicle fleet (30 countries = EU + United Kingdom + Switzerland + Norway) of plug-in passenger cars (BEV+PHEV) in 2025 , based on sales of these models over the last ten years (2014-2024) and adding those made during the first half of 2025 (for the sake of simplification, withdrawals from the market of these vehicles have not been taken into account, as they are not significant for the present analysis). According to this calculation, the BEV+PHEV fleet in Europe would represent 15.1 million units out of more than 250 million passenger cars, compared to 31.4 million BEV-PHEVs in China and 6.4 million BEV-PHEVs in the United States. The rest of the world is estimated at around 3 million BEV-PHEV units (including 0.7 million in Japan).
- Germany is well ahead of all other European countries, with 3.7 million BEV+PHEVs, ahead of the United Kingdom (2.3 million units), France (2.1 million units) and Norway (1 million units). These four leading countries in alternative plug-in powertrains represent 61% of the BEV+PHEV fleet in Europe by June 30, 2025. Sweden (0.9 million) and the Netherlands (0.85 million) are the next two countries, adding 12% to the 61% just mentioned, which means that six countries alone represent three-quarters of the European BEV+PHEV fleet.
- In other words, 24 countries represent only a quarter of the European BEV+PHEV fleet , which should worry the politicians who implemented the directive concerning the objective of 100% plug-in cars sold in Europe by 2035. In total, BEV+PHEVs do not yet reach 7% of the European passenger car fleet and 25.5% of the European market in the first half of 2025 (including 17% BEVs and 8.5% PHEVs, i.e. twice as many BEVs as PHEVs). Out of a European fleet of 15.1 million BEV+PHEVs, the number of BEVs is estimated at 9.35 million units and the number of PHEVs at 5.75 million units.

IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Xpeng will display some models at the Munich Motor Show
- The Chinese carmaker Xpeng (which has signed a partnership agreement with the Volkswagen group) will be present at the Munich Motor Show.
- The carmaker's range currently consists of the following models:
• Xpeng Mona M03 (battery electric D-segment sedan) = 86,351 sales in the first half of 2025
• Xpeng P7 (battery electric D-segment sedan) = 1,166 sales
• Xpeng P7+ (battery electric D-segment sedan) = 44,578 sales
• Xpeng G6 (battery electric D-segment SUV) = 37,571 sales
• Xpeng G7 (battery electric D-segment SUV) = 573 sales
• Xpeng G9 (battery electric D-segment SUV) = 15,981 sales
• Xpeng X9 (battery electric D-segment MPV) = 10,969 sales
- TOTAL = 197,189 sales in the World in the first half of 2025. This makes it a small carmaker in China.
IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volkswagen: new T-Roc (the brand's first F-HEV model)
- Details
IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volkswagen: new T-Roc (the brand's first F-HEV model)
- T-Roc (B-segment SUV), which dates back to 2017, will be replaced in 2026 (2019 for the convertible). The new generation of this model will be longer than the current generation (4.37 m instead of 4.23 m). It will be marketed for the first time in a full-hybrid version (F-HEV) in 2026 and in a battery electric version (BEV) from 2028.
- These launches will be the occasion for a change in the prodution allocation of the model in Volkswagen factories from 2028. The Palmela site (Portugal) will be dedicated to the thermal and hybrid versions of the future T-Roc (in 2026) while the Wolfsburg site (Germany) will be dedicated to the battery electric versions of the future T-Roc (in 2028).
- Note that the future battery electric VW Golf will also be produced in Wolfsburg while its thermal and hybrid versions will be produced in Puebla, Mexico, alongside the VW Jetta.
- The carmaker will extend production of the thermal and hybrid Tiguans in Wolfsburg until 2033 or even 2035, but a battery electric version should be launched in 2026, also produced in Wolfsburg.
- Inovev forecasts a production of 300,000 units of the new Volkswagen T-Roc per year.
IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volvo: EX60 and Polestar range

IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volvo: EX60 and Polestar range
- Slovakia is probably the European country that currently has the most assembly plants (Bratislava, Nitra, Trnava, Zilina) in relation to its population (5.5 million inhabitants). A fifth plant is currently being built, with a production capacity of 250,000 vehicles per year. This is the Volvo plant in Košice, which will produce the future battery electric Volvo EX60 and Polestar 7 models from 2028 (Polestar being a subsidiary of Volvo that produces its own vehicles in China and the United States).
- The Volvo EX60 will be the battery electric version of the future XC60 SUV (D segment) expected in 2026. It will complete Volvo's EX range, currently composed of the EX30, EX40 and EX90. It will be based on the new SPA3 platform which will integrate advanced technologies such as the assisted driving system.
- The Polestar 7, the first electric vehicle produced by Polestar in Europe, will be an SUV derived from the Volvo EX60 and will therefore share the SPA3 platform, its batteries and its motors with the EX60 SUV. There is no doubt that producing this model in Europe will strengthen the presence and awareness of the Polestar brand.
- Currently, the Polestar range consists of the Polestar 2 (D-segment sedan), Polestar 3 (E-segment SUV) and Polestar 4 (E-segment SUV), all with battery electric powertrains.
- A Polestar 5 sedan (E-segment sedan) is planned for fall 2025. The Polestar 7 SUV (D-segment SUV) is expected to launch in 2026, with part of the production moving from China to Slovakia in 2028.
IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volkswagen: ID2 X battery electric SUV (launch planned for 2026)
- Details
IAA Mobility Munich 2025: Volkswagen: ID2 X battery electric SUV (launch planned for 2026)
- The all-electric Volkswagen ID2 X will be the SUV version of the ID2 (B segment; see specific Inovev) with a slightly different aesthetic. It will use the platform, engines and batteries of the original model. It will be marketed at the end of 2026.
- The ID2 X will, however, be slightly more expensive than the ID2 and therefore may sell for less than the ID2.
- The Volkswagen ID2 X will be produced in Pamplona.
- Inovev expects production of 48,000 units of the ID2 X in 2030, or a total of 110,000 units for the ID2/ID2 X combined in 2030, which would make it the most produced battery electric model in Europe, ahead of the ID1.
- These two models will, however, have to avoid too much competition with the future battery electric VW T-Roc to avoid cannibalization between them.
- The new positioning of the VW T-Roc in the C segment could nevertheless help it to differentiate itself more clearly from the ID2 and ID2 X positioned in the B segment.
