Comparison of thermal/HEV and BEV/PHEV sales in Europe
- Sales of passenger cars in Europe have shown a clear decline since 2020 in the registrations of cars with combustion engines or non-rechargeable hybrids (HEV-Full and HEV-Mild) since the volume of their sales has fallen from a rate of 1 million / 1 8 million per month between January 2018 and March 2020 (start of containment following the first wave of Covid) at a rate of 600,000 / 1.2 million between April 2020 and March 2022.
- At the same time, the increase in sales in Europe of plug-in passenger cars (BEV and PHEV) does not at all compensate for the drop in sales of passenger cars with thermal engines or non-plug-in hybrids. Sales of this type of vehicle are even tending to stabilize at around 200,000 units per month.
- The overall rate of registrations in Europe therefore fell from 1 million / 1.8 million per month between January 2018 and March 2020, to a rate of 800,000 / 1.4 million between April 2020 and March 2022, which gives a drop from 20% to 23% compared to the 2018-2020 period.
- In terms of market share, sales of passenger cars with thermal engines or non-rechargeable hybrids fell from nearly 100% in January 2018 to 90% in March 2020 then to 80% in June 2021 and 70% in December 2021.
- Sales of electric passenger cars (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) for their part went from almost 0% in January 2018 to 10% in March 2020 and 20% in June 2021 and 30% in December 2021.
