"The Tesla Model Y was Europe's most popular electric car in 2025, leading all EV models by a wide margin despite a year marked by production transition, intensifying competition, and anti-Elon Musk sentiments. The result highlights the Model Y's continued strength in the region even as Volkswagen overtook Tesla as the top-selling EV brand overall. As per data compiled by JATO Dynamics and reported by Swedish outlet Allt om Elbil, the Tesla Model Y recorded 149,805 registrations across Europe in 2025."
"That figure placed it comfortably at No. 1 among all electric car models in the region. The Model Y's performance in Europe is particularly notable given that registrations declined 28% year-over-year. The dip coincided with Tesla's Q1 2025 transition to the updated Model Y, a changeover that temporarily affected output and deliveries in several markets. Anti-Elon Musk sentiments also spread across several European countries amidst the CEO's work with U.S. President Donald Trump."
"Even with these disruptions, the Model Y outsold its nearest rival by more than 50,000 units. Second place went to the newly launched Skoda Elroq with 93,870 registrations, followed by the Tesla Model 3 at 85,393 units. The Model 3 also recorded a 24% year-over-year decline. Renault's new electric Renault 5 placed fourth with 85,101 registrations. Other top performers included the Volkswagen ID.4, ID.3, and ID.7, along with the BMW iX1 and Kia EV3, many of which posted triple-digit growth from partial-year launches in 2024."
