In the EU, new battery-electric car sales grew by 34% to 124,341 units in January 2025, capturing a 15% market share. Three of the four largest markets in the region, together accounting for 64% of all battery-electric car registrations, recorded robust double-digit gains: Germany (+53.5%), Belgium (+37.2%), and the Netherlands (+28.2%), while France saw a slight decline of -0.5%, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association.

In January, new EU registrations of hybrid-electric cars increased by 18.4%, boosted by significant growth in the four biggest markets: France (+52.2%), Spain (+23.5%), Germany (+13.7%), and Italy (+10.6%). This led to 290,014 units registered in the first month of 2025, representing 34.9% of the EU market share.

Registrations of plug-in hybrid electric cars declined in January 2025, dropping by 8.5% to 61,406 units. This decrease was primarily driven by significant reductions in key markets such as Belgium (-66.6%) and France (-54%). As a result, plug-in hybrid electric cars now represent 7.4% of total car sales in the EU.
