"Tesla lost the EV sales crown in Europe. Despite having the Model Y and Model 3 in the top three, Tesla couldn't fend off Volkswagen's growth. Thanks to the popularity of the ID.3, ID.4 and ID.7, VW outsold Tesla and is now Europe's biggest EV brand. It's no surprise that Tesla hasn't been doing great lately, and the latest sales figures from Europe show that the company that was once hailed as a disruptor is stuck in legacy mode."
"VW sold 274,417 EVs in 2025 in the European Union, the United Kingdom and the countries that make up the European Free Trade Association (EFTA): Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. That's a 56% increase over 2024, and it's mostly due to the success of the ID.3 hatchback, ID.4 crossover and ID.7 sedan and wagon, according to DataForce, quoted by Automotive News. None of VW's EVs got a spot on the podium, but combined, they outsold Tesla's Model Y"
Volkswagen became Europe's largest EV brand in 2025 by selling 274,417 electric vehicles across the EU, UK and EFTA, a 56% increase from 2024. The rise was driven largely by the ID.3 hatchback, ID.4 crossover and ID.7 sedan and wagon. Tesla sold 238,765 EVs in the same region, a 27% year-over-year decline. The Tesla Model Y remained the best-selling individual EV with 151,331 units, and the Model 3 placed third with 86,261 units, both posting double-digit percentage declines. BMW, Skoda and Audi also ranked among Europe's top-selling EV makers.
