The Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) has published a report on vehicle registration in Europe. It contains great news for the electric vehicle market, but bad news for Tesla.
According to the report, sales of Tesla electric vehicles in February fell by 40% compared to the same period last year, and since the beginning of 2025, the overall decline has been 43%. To recap, in January, Tesla’s sales in Europe also fell.
However, this is not a problem for the European electric car market. After all, the overall European electric vehicle market grew by 28% in February compared to last year. Now the share of electric cars is 15% of the total market. At the same time, overall car sales in Europe fell by 3% due to a decline in other categories of vehicles. As a result, Europeans are more likely to buy electric cars, but they are bypassing Tesla and preferring other brands.
The largest growth in electric vehicle sales in the first two months of this year was recorded in Germany (+41%), Belgium (+38%) and the Netherlands (+25%). These three countries accounted for 64% of all electric vehicle deliveries in Europe.
Some may assume that Tesla is experiencing a temporary slump as buyers await an updated version of the Model Y. However, this is unlikely, as sales of the company’s other models have also declined. For example, the Model 3, which used to be very popular, experienced a 29% drop in sales in Europe this year.
It seems that Europeans have appreciated Elon Musk’s recent statements and actions and have decided to support other electric car manufacturers with their wallets.
Last year, for the first time in more than a decade, Tesla annual sales of electric vehicles decreased.
