New passenger car registrations in Spain increased in October for the third consecutive month, to 67,604 (up 12% year-over-year). However, the market situation is still challenging as the number of new registrations during the first ten months of the year, decreased by 6.5% year-over-year to 681,513.

Meanwhile, plug-in electric car sales continue their uninterrupted growth, but at a very slow rate.

According to EnergyTransition Fan, some 6,755 new plug-in electric cars were registered in October (up 2% year-over-year), which is 10.0% of the market.

The result could be better, but plug-in hybrids noted a 5% decline to 3,986. All-electric cars are expanding at noticeably higher rates than PHEVs this year, including 15% in October to 2,769.

  • BEVs: 2,769 (up 15%, at 4.1% market share)
  • PHEVs: 3,986 (down 5%, at 5.9% market share)
