Last Tuesday, the figures of the French market fell, and they are cold in the back. Since the start of the year, The drop reached 7.9 % With figures approaching the year 2022, an exercise to say the least bad. On the electric side, June is also set back, the VE representing only 17 % of the market.
With our German neighbors, this market share is near With 17.2 %but it is growing since it only reached 12 % last year. It is even euphoria since the beginning of the year since, according to the figures of the KBA, Sales jumped by 43 % (from January to May).

The electric car makes a return to say the least since for the month of June alone, registrations increased by 8.6 %, with a Market share of 18.4 %. How to explain such an increase?
Strong discounts to boost the market
According to Matthias Schmidt, an independent automotive analyst who spoke to our colleagues in the echoes, ” It is a sign of a stagnant market in which manufacturers push electric models to comply with European strict CO2 emission standards from early 2025 ».
Even if they are three years old (from 2025 to 2027) to respect the objectives against a year initially, the manufacturers have no choice but to sell more VE. Volkswagen currently offers strong discounts on his ID.4. « Once they will be sure that their electric vehicle control book is sufficiently fulfilled and that the trajectory to achieve the objectives is on the right track, they will close the discount tap Adds the analyst.
Is this good health of the electricity market in Germany sustainable? It is better to remain cautious and put into perspective. THE next six months will be interesting To observe.
For the rest, the global market accuses a decline of 2.4 % between January and May. Petrol models are falling by 26 % over the same period is 21 % diesel.
