Breakdown of BEV sales by country in Europe (Q1-2021)
- Over the first six months of 2021, European sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) increased by 127.3% compared to the first six months of 2020, according to the latest figures released by ACEA, meaning 503,411 units against 221,514 units in the first half of the year. These sales represent 7.9% of the European passenger car market in the first half of 2021. It should be noted that this analysis is carried out on 30 European countries, that is to say the 26 of the European Union, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
- The analysis of the sales by country in Europe, shows that the countries located in Eastern Europe, more precisely those which joined the European Union the latest, are much less demanding of these vehicles than other countries located in Western Europe. They only represent 2.4% of BEV sales in Europe in 2020 (17,657 units), while all engines combined, these countries represent 9.7% of the European passenger car market.
- In the first half of 2021, they represented 3.9% of BEV sales in Europe (9.6% all engines combined), or 19,872 units, marking a slight improvement compared to 2020. But these figures are still very far from those registered by BEVs in Western European countries (8,3%).

Breakdown of PHEV sales by country in Europe (Q1-2021)
- Over the first six months of 2021, European sales of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) increased by 200.4% compared to the first six months of 2020, according to the latest figures communicated by ACEA, totalising 537,212 units against 178,842 units the previous year. These sales represent 8.4% of the European passenger car (PC) market in the first half of 2021. It should be noted that this analysis is carried out on 30 European countries, that is to say the 26 of the European Union, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
- When we analyse the sales by country in Europe, we see that the countries located in Eastern Europe, more precisely those which joined the European Union the latest, are much less demanding of these vehicles than other countries located in Western Europe. They only represent 1.7% of PHEV sales in Europe in 2020 (10,519 units), while all engines combined, these countries represent 9.7% of the European passenger car market.
- In the first half of 2021, they represented 1.8% of PHEV sales in Europe (9.6% all engines combined), or 9,843 units, recording an increase of 175% compared to 2020, but these figures are still very distant of those recorded by PHEVs in Western Europe (9.1%).

What is the share of PHEVs in models sold in Europe?

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.

Breakdown of HEV sales by country in Europe (Q1-2021)

Breakdown of HEV sales by country in Europe (Q1-2021)
- Inovev has analysed full hybrid vehicle (HEV) sales in 21 major European markets, including the UK, Switzerland and Norway. Inovev based this analysis on its own collected data, unlike the analyses on BEVs and PHEVs, carried out using data provided by ACEA. Indeed, on the sales of HEVs, the ACEA includes models equipped with mild-hybrid technology (or 48V), which has the effect of "inflating" the sales volumes of HEVs. However, for Inovev, the technology of mild-hybrids and full-hybrids cannot be put at the same level.
- Therefore, over the cumulative first six months of 2021, European sales of hybrid cars increased 68.8% compared to the first six months of 2020, totalising 322,822 units against 191,231 units the previous year. These sales represent 5.4% of the European passenger car (PC) market in the first half of 2021.
- The analysis by brand in Europe shows that Toyota and Lexus represent three quarters of HEV European sales (240 000 units including 220,000 Toyota and 20,000 Lexus), the remainder being divided between Renault (38,000 units), Hyundai-Kia (20,000 units), Honda (19,000 units), Suzuki (2,000 units) Land Rover (2 000 units) and Ford (1,000 units). The best-selling hybrid model in Europe over the first six months of 2021 is the Toyota Yaris with 70,000 sales ahead of the Corolla (54,000 units), the CHR (51,000 units) and the RAV4 (38,000 units).
- The European countries that buy the most hybrid vehicles are France, Great Britain, Italy and Spain, while Germany, which buys a lot of BEVs and PHEVs, buys proportionately few HEVs. This would be because Germany is not a small car market and therefore Yaris Hybrid, Renault Clio Hybrid, Hyundai Kona Hybrid, Honda Jazz Hybrid are not in great demand in this country. In contrast, France, Italy and Spain are markets for small cars like the Yaris or the Clio.

The Volkswagen Plan for 2030

The Volkswagen Plan for 2030
The Volkswagen group has announced its Plan for 2030, entitled “New Auto”. Three points can be highlilted from this plan:
1. The VW group is restructured into three poles:
• Volume: Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat and Cupra.
• Premium: Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini.
• Sport: Porsche. We note the disappearance of Bugatti, which has just been sold to the Rimac company. There is also a certain inconsistency regarding the Sport division, which does not integrate Cupraand Lamborghini, even if they are sports brands.
2. The SSP platform family, which will be launched in 2025, will allow an optimization of modules and batteries on all of the group's future models from that date, regardless of brand and segment. This future platform family will allow to reduce the number of parts and systems between the group's models (for example, reduction in the number of different battery packs). It will be featured in Audi’s Artemis and Apollon and Volkswagen’s Trinity projects scheduled for 2025 and 2026.
3. The carmaker wants to become one of the main producers of battery cells in Europe, either on its own or in association with Northvolt. The carmaker will therefore build six factories in Europe with a capacity of 40 GWh each, or 240 GWh in total.
This capacity represents a volume of around 4,000,000 electric cars in 2030 (if we take an average capacity of a vehicle of 60 kWh), or 50% of the group's worldwide sales in 2020. In ten years, the cumulative sales of The group's electric cars must reach 26 million units.
