Some 253,000 plugin vehicles were registered in May in Europe — which is +38% year over year . Unfortunately, the overall market also grew fast, +18%, surpassing 1 million sales. It is finally recovering from a couple of bad years.
The highlight of the month was the Tesla Model Y once again dominating the table, more than doubling the sales of the runner-up VW ID.4, but let’s look closer at May’s plugin top 5:— For the 7th month in a row, Tesla’s crossover was the best selling EV in Europe.
Finally, besides having its Corsa EV in the top 20, Opel was close to placing another model in the table, as the stylish Mokka EV ended just some 200 units below the #20 Renault Megane EV. Still, with Stellantis placing three models in the table, coming from three different brands , the multinational conglomerate can’t really complain. Only Volkswagen Group managed to do better .
The second placed Volvo XC40 managed to hold onto silver, but the same can’t be said about the VW ID.3, which dropped from 3rd to 5th in May to the benefit of its sibling VW ID.4 and the Tesla Model 3, which climbed one position each. Another model with a strong value-for-money proposal is the Skoda Enyaq, which was up to #9, thus becoming the 4th MEB-platform model in Europe’s top 10.
