Neuzulassungen laut KBA: Boom bei Elektroautos in Deutschland hält an

Germany's electric vehicle market continues to surge in September, according to data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) in Flensburg. Approximately 88,600 pure electric cars (BEV) were newly registered in the month, a 95% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge is primarily attributed to the federal government's EV subsidy.

Pure electric vehicles accounted for over a third (34.5%) of the 256,800 new registrations in total, while traditional gasoline and diesel cars combined made up around 67,700 new registrations, both showing declines compared to the previous September. Overall, the number of new cars registered in September saw a 9% increase from September 2022.

A key expert, Constantin Gall from EY, noted that the EV subsidy is indeed effective, but warns that the momentum may be expensive to sustain and could face a decline if the support ends. Chinese manufacturers appear to be major beneficiaries of the recent boom, with their sales and market share experiencing significant growth in September.
