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