• Both powertrains now offer discounts of about 17 percent, erasing the earlier rebate disadvantage for EVs.
• Volkswagen Group leads with 61,600 electric registrations and a 21 percent market share, rising to almost 46 percent when including its brands Skoda, Audi, Seat and Porsche.
• Tesla’s new registrations have fallen to 10,000 units, dropping it to ninth place overall and 14th in July.
• Since January, tighter EU CO₂ regulations have forced automakers to boost EV sales to avoid fleet penalties, contributing to a surge in electric registrations.
