Autoindustrie: Globale Nachfrage nach Elektroautos sinkt im September
Während Europa einen Absatzrekord verzeichnete, brach die Nachfrage nach E-Autos in Nordamerika und China deutlich ein. Insgesamt gingen die Verkäufe weltweit um zwei Prozent zurück.
Global automobile sales of electric vehicles (EVs) declined in September for the sixth consecutive month, according to data from the British research firm Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. Sales fell by 2% to 2.15 million vehicles, bringing the annual total to 15.5 million units, which remains 3% above the beginning of the year. The decline highlights an increasing divide between major markets.
Europe benefited from strong consumer demand and government support. "Europe had its strongest month since records began, with nearly 600,000 electric cars sold in September, 10% above the previous June peak," stated BMI data manager Charles Lester. In contrast, North American sales dropped by 44%, while sales in China fell by 18% to 1.11 million vehicles.
North America faced the consequences of the US phase-out of EV tax credits at the end of September 2025. Chinese manufacturers increasingly turned to exports due to weaker domestic demand.
