It seems the German automotive market has bottomed out, having grown 3% in August, while plugins are also recovering. Sales of full electric vehicles (BEVs) were up in August by 13% year over year (YoY).

There were 31,734 BEV registrations last month, representing 16% of the overall market. This time Plugin hybrids also helped, postingwith a 2% increase. Is the announced end of incentives for PHEVs towards the end of the year already showing its first signs? Regardless, PHEVs had 24,673 registrations, or 12% of the total auto market.

Other models had their opportunity to shine last month, with three models even hitting record scores. That includes the #6 Audi Q4 e-tron, which got 1,332 registrations, its second record performance in a row. The sporty Cupra Born was #9, with a record 1,257 registrations, highlighting the recent production ramp-up in the Volkswagen. In #11 we have the Hyundai Tucson PHEV also hitting a record score — in this case, 1,134 registrations.

Outside the top 20, the highlights are the Mercedes-Benz EQC scoring 398 registrations, its best score in over a year, and the MG 5 station wagon having its first volume delivery month, 394 registrations.Regarding the 2022 table, the Fiat 500e retained the leadership spot, but the new runner-up Tesla Model Y is likely to have another record-breaking month in September, so we could expect a leadership change next month.

The Skoda Enyaq went up to #12, while the Audi e-tron, BMW 3-Series PHEV, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 all benefitted from the Renault Zoe’s fall into the abyss, each climbing one spot in the table.

Hyundai Motor Increased Plug-In Car Sales In August 2022 By 25%Last month, the combined wholesale shipments (closely related to production) of Hyundai and Genesis plug-in cars amounted to *18,116 (up 25% year-over-year). Sliding 12 month vs previous sliding 12 month gives a true picture of growth. One month at a time isn't an accurate measure of growth. That said, my money is on Hyundai outlasting Toyota long term. No inventory in San Diego, we haven't had any for months and the dealership says they get 20-30 calls a week about them.
