Europe EV market share tops 25% in July as France, Germany drive growth
Nearly 1.5 million battery EVs have been registered in Europe so far this year
In July, electric vehicle (EV) registrations in Europe surpassed the 1.5 million mark, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) claiming a 25.7 percent market share. This represents a 13.6 percent year-over-year increase in BEV registrations, totaling 224,266 vehicles across 16 key European markets. France led the charge, achieving a 35 percent BEV share with 44,378 registrations, while Germany followed closely with a 29.3 percent share and 78,609 registrations.
Nordic and Benelux markets continued to be the most electrified, with Denmark at 80.1 percent, Finland at 52.6 percent, the Netherlands at 47.3 percent, Belgium at 42.8 percent, and Sweden at 42.6 percent. However, Italy's BEV share declined to 5.9 percent from 10.1 percent in June due to the expiration of previous incentives. Poland and the Czech Republic remained among the least electrified markets, at 4 percent and 7.5 percent, respectively.
E-Mobility Europe's secretary general, Chris Heron, emphasized the need for stable, predictable policies to maintain the region's growth in electric mobility.
