Tesla crushed in Europe as BYD outsells; BEV sales surge 28%
Briefly

In a surprising turn of events, Tesla has dropped to 11th place in European EV sales, while Volkswagen leads dramatically with a 61% increase, selling 23,514 units. Chinese automaker BYD outperformed Tesla with 7,231 sales and is capitalizing on its PHEVs and BEVs in Europe. This shift marks a significant change in Europe's automotive landscape, highlighting Tesla's decline after years of market leadership. Analyst Felipe Munoz emphasizes the critical nature of this development for the industry's future.
Although the difference between the two brands' monthly sales totals may be small, the implications are enormous. This is a watershed moment for Europe's car market.
Volkswagen sold more EVs than anyone else in Europe last month, increasing by 61 percent to 23,514 units, outpacing Tesla significantly.
