Approximately 288,000 plugin vehicles were registered in September in Europe, +15% year over year . Unfortunately, the overall market also grew by double digits, +11%, as it is finally recovering from a couple of bad years.
The highlight of the month was the Tesla Model Y selling four times more units than the runner-up MG4. Also, the Peugeot e-208 registered a record 6,582 units, allowing it to end the month in the 5th spot. But let’s look closer at September’s plugin top 5:— For the 11th month in a row, Tesla’s crossover was the best selling EV in Europe, and with the #2 model selling one fourth the number of vehicles, one cannot really imagine who could break the Model Y’s domination in Europe.
There was also good news in the Stellantis stable, with the Opel Mokka EV getting closer to the top 20, and the German brand hoping to place its two best sellers in the table at the same time. Speaking of these models, the Skoda Enyaq and MG4 continue to climb up the table, having risen one position in September — at the cost of the VW ID.3, which dropped to #7.
In the last positions on the table, the highlight is the two-position rise of the Mercedes EQA, to #18. The compact crossover is currently on top of its game and looking to climb a couple more positions by the end of the year. Finally, Volvo is still in 5th, but is losing share by the day. So, we might see #6 Audi surpass it sometime in the future., Volkswagen Group was down to 20.2%, from 20.4% in August. Nonetheless, it kept a comfortable lead over runner-up Stellantis .
