Interesting things are happening in Europe. For January through July, the Tesla Y was the top selling single model EV by a comfortable margin, as it has been for some time.
In July, the picture changed. All 3 of Europe's top-selling EVs were from the VW Group - Skoda Elroq, Skoda Enyak, and VW ID3. Tesla Y was in 7th place, just behind the new Renault 5 supermini. In a few months, we'll see whether this trend holds up, or whether Tesla wins back the top sales slot. VW's strategy of offering multiple EV sizes and price ranges across multiple European brands (VW/Audi/Skoda/Cupra) seems to have paid off, even in the January to July figures. Tesla's 2 EV models sold 117,942 units. VW's 8 models sold 310,854 units, 164% more (2.6 times as many). Overall, EVs were close to 18% of the European auto market. It'll be interesting to see how VW fares in 2027, when they add their 25k euro Polo-size EV to the mix. Maybe by then Tesla will have introduced an EV to compete with it.
