European Plug-In Market Exceeds 180,000 In First Half (Up 42%)
The European market grows consistently this year, above 40% year-over-year
According to the latest data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, some 183,285 new passenger plug-ins were registered in the European Union and EFTA (Norway + Switzerland) during the first half of the year, which is 42.3% more than a year ago. The numbers include hydrogen fuel cell cars, but those are very small values that don’t change the overall result by much.
The market share seems to improve a little bit and now stands at 2.1% on average.
Sales of plug-in hybrids are currently higher than all-electric:
- PHEV – 94,999 (up 45.9%)
- BEVs – 88,286 (up 38.7%)

Germany could be twice as many, were it not for the delivery times of 12 month and more that are currently to be waited for a new BEV (ironically, Tesla has the shortest waiting times, but as Model 3 is not available over here yet, and the S and X are prioritised for Norway and Netherlands, can not really profit from the situation. Domestic manufacturers have plenty of polluting diesel cars available at great discounts, 50-55% off MSRP straight out of the factory door, if you buy in bulk (sometimes, 1 is enough to qualify for “bulk” now).
