Volkswagen Leads Germany's Electric Vehicle Market, Failing to Rank in Top 10 for Tesla - Volkswagen leads Germany's electric vehicle market, pushing Tesla out of the top 10 rankings.
Hey there! Let's dive into the bustling world of electric cars in Germany. buckle up!
In April, the VW family was the undisputed champ of the German electric car market, taking the top spot with a whopping 9,725 newly registered pure electric vehicles, as per stats from the Federal Motor Transport Authority. Talk About domination! If you're confused about what's VW, think Volkswagen, the carmaker from Wolfsburg, Germany.
You might wonder what brands made it to the second, fourth, and fifth positions? Well, it's still the VW group, but not the core brand. Škoda and Audi took the second and fourth spots, respectively, with SEAT claiming the fifth position.
Even though Mercedes-Benz staggered in at sixth with 2,626 electric cars, it's essential to note that BMW had to squeeze past Škoda to grab the seventh place back. But don't worry, BMW isn't out of the race just yet!
Now, let's talk about Tesla, once the reigning queen of electric cars in Germany, but unfortunately, it seems to have lost its mojo. With only 885 registrations in April, Tesla plummeted down to 16th place. Is this due to Elon Musk's political engagements or the model change with the Model Y? Only time will tell.
In a twist of irony, Tesla has lost its long-held position as the most frequently newly registered model in Germany - yep, you guessed it, VW now dominates that too, with the ID.7, ID.3, the combined ID.4 and 5 of the core brand, as well as the Škoda Enyaq and the SEAT Born ruling the roost.
So, here's a fun fact: almost every second new electric car in Germany comes from VW! If you thought that was impressive, get this - VW has about 47 percent market share, making it the big kahuna in the German electric car market. BMW is a distant second with just over 11 percent, including Mini.
