Das starke Wachstum ist teilweise auf einen Basiseffekt zurückzuführen, da im Juli 2024 eine neue Assistenzsystempflicht in Kraft trat, die Fahrzeuge verteuerte und die Nachfrage dämpfte. Im bisherigen Jahresverlauf wurden 1,67 Millionen Pkw neu zugelassen, was einem Rückgang von 2,5 Prozent entspricht.

Overview

  • Germany registered 48,600 battery-electric vehicles in July, a 58% year-on-year jump that lifted BEVs to an 18.4% share of new-car sales.
  • Plug-in hybrid registrations climbed 83.6% to 27,197 units, boosting their market share to 10.3% and pushing electrified models to almost 30% of total sales.
  • Tesla’s German registrations plunged by more than 55% to about 1,100 units in July, highlighting intensifying competition from more affordable EVs.
  • Switzerland sustained a 20.5% BEV share with 3,777 new registrations and achieved a combined plug-in share of 32.8% in July under its supportive tax and charging-infrastructure environment.
  • Berlin and Brandenburg saw new-car registrations fall 7.7% and 1.3% through June even as electrified vehicles captured 63.2% and 54.9% of sales, and Bavaria logged a 27.4% rise in BEV registrations and a 46.3% jump in PHEVs despite a 6.1% drop in overall registrations.
