I had some enjoyable digging into EV gross sales knowledge and charts from EU-EVs.com just lately. However certainly one of our readers did me one higher. In response to a type of articles, Steve Jenkins responded with the next remark:

I believed I’d do an annual comparability for the 13 markets lined by EU-EVs with the 1,2,3 positions.

Two factors, in 2017 there have been solely 9 international locations lined and 2025 is YTD

2017 — Whole market 98k
1. Renault-Nissan 27.7%, 2. Tesla 23%, 3. VW Group 14.7%

2018 — Whole market 149k
1. Renault-Nissan 32.9%, 2. Tesla 16.6% 3. VW Group 15%

2019 — Whole market 287k
1. Tesla 32.8%, 2. Renault-Nissan 18.3%, 3. VW Group 16%

2020 — Whole market 567k
1. VW Group 28.3%, 2. Tesla 14.6%, 3. Renault-Nissan 14.6%

2021 — Whole market 1.01m
1. VW Group 27%, 2. Tesla 13.4%, 3 Stellantis 13%

2022 — Whole market 1.31m
1. VW Group 23.8%, 2. Tesla 14.8%, 3. Stellantis 14%

2023 — Whole market 1.59m
1. VW Group 24.3%, 2. Tesla 16.7%, 3. Stellantis 11.8%

2024 — Whole market 1.52m
1. VW Group 23.5%, 2. Tesla 16.1%, 3. BMW Group 10%

2025 YTD — Whole market 1.83m
1. VW Group 29.9%, 2. BMW Group 9.1%, 3. Tesla 9.1%

Two issues stand out, the very speedy development within the whole market — it has tripled from 2020 to 2025 and the domination of the VW Group since 2020 when it launched the VW ID3 and ID4.

Fairly an interesting shift in auto group leaders, eh? And it’s enjoyable taking a look at how the whole EV market grew in that point as effectively. It could really feel at instances like issues are going too sluggish, and the EV transition is being delayed, however that’s some spectacular and vital development in general gross sales.

Except for Steve’s remarks, I additionally discovered it notably attention-grabbing seeing Renault-Nissan’s decline and Tesla’s decline.
