Volkswagen Group Boosts EV Sales 47% in First Half of 2025

Europe’s near-doubling of electric-vehicle deliveries fueled the rise as declining sales elsewhere failed to dent momentum.

Overview

  • Volkswagen sold 465,000 electric vehicles in the first half of 2025, marking a 47% year-on-year increase.
  • Total deliveries across VW Group brands rose 1.3% to 4.4 million units over the same period.
  • European EV sales jumped nearly 90%, with Volkswagen accounting for almost half of new electric registrations in Germany.
  • Strong gains in South America offset a one-third drop in China’s EV market as domestic rivals strengthened their positions.
  • North American EV deliveries plunged under President Trump’s 25% import tariff, and Audi and Porsche reported sales declines in China’s luxury segment.
