Electric car sales rebound in Europe, with a catch DW 06/11/2025
Briefly

In 2025, Europe's electric vehicle market shows robust growth with over 2.2 million registrations from January to April, reflecting a 20% increase since 2024. This growth is driven by strong demand for battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), which saw a 26% rise. The UK mirrors this trend, witnessing a rise in registrations of electrified vehicles by nearly 23%. This recovery is crucial for the automotive sector, coping with rising costs and competition, especially from Chinese manufacturers, while navigating potential new tariffs from the US.
From January to April 2025, over 2.2 million electrified vehicles were registered across the EU, Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland, marking a 20% increase compared to 2024.
The surge in BEV registrations, up 26%, signifies a strong momentum towards zero-emission vehicles despite previous market challenges faced in 2024.
