Since the beginning of 2023, German carmaker Volkswagen has sold 41,475 electric vehicles in Germany, while Tesla has sold 40,298.
Since the beginning of this year, German automaker Volkswagen has sold 41,475 electric vehicles in Germany, and Tesla – 40,298, reports Bild.
Today, the share of electric vehicles in the total number of cars in Germany is about 16%.
Bild columnist Niels Kottmann says that, in general, German automakers have “fallen asleep” on the electric transport boom. China has become the world leader in this area – now half of all electric cars in the world are concentrated there.
In 2022, local manufacturer BYD (1.8 million) will lead their sales in China, and Tesla will come second (1.3 million). Volkswagen has sold 831,000 electric cars in China.
Recall that in July, Ukrainians bought about 3.5 thousand electric cars. The newest electric car on the market in July is the Volkswagen ID.4.
The demand for electric vehicles has grown in the EU. So, in June, 158 thousand electric cars were sold in the EU, which for the first time exceeded the number of cars with diesel engines sold in the same period (139.6 thousand).
