Volkswagen Captures 46% of Germany’s EV Market, Leaving Tesla Behind
Volkswagen has surged to a dominant 46% share of Germany’s EV market in H1 2025, far outpacing rivals like BMW (11%) and Tesla (3.6%). Strong domestic production, a broad electric lineup, and consumer trust have fueled this rapid growth. Meanwhile, Tesla’s fall from second to eighth reflects increased competition and local brand preference. VW’s modular EV platforms, such as MEB, continue to lead the shift as Germany intensifies its zero-emission goals.
Germans Are Buying More Electric Vehicles — but Tesla Is Losing Ground
Tesla's EV sales in Germany fell over 33% year-over-year in May 2025—despite a booming European EV market. While competitors like BYD and Volkswagen gain ground, Tesla’s declining momentum reflects not only intensified competition but also growing consumer backlash tied to Elon Musk’s political actions. The trend signals a critical shift in European EV buyer sentiment.
