Overview

• Germany recorded 264,802 new car registrations in July, including 48,614 battery-electric vehicles for an 18.4% share, up 58% year over year.
• Volkswagen’s ID.3 led July BEV registrations with 2,907 units as the group secured eight of the top ten spots and a 20.7% BEV market share.
• Tesla’s Model Y logged 637 registrations in July and dropped out of the monthly top ten, reflecting shifting demand toward European brands.
• A CAR study reports roughly 70% of licensed drivers in Germany have never driven an EV, which the researchers link to lower purchase intent.
• Analyses highlight uneven infrastructure and adoption, with over 166,000 public chargers averaging one per 17.3 EVs and notably weaker uptake across much of eastern Germany.
