South Korean electric vehicle battery manufacturers more than doubled their market share between January and July 2020. In general, the market contracted by 16.8 per cent from 64.1 to 53.3 GWh capacity during the first seven months of the year due to corona.

In Norway, 5,704 new electric cars were registered in July. Electric cars accounted for 52.8 per cent of new passenger car registrations. With 755 units, the Audi e-tron was the most popular model across all drive types.

The Porsche Taycan is technically capable of software updates via the data network (Over The Air). But owners of the electric Porsche still have to come to the workshop for a software update due to the large amount of data required.

In China, the decline in sales figures for new energy vehicles appears to be levelling off as some manufacturers’ sales figures for July seem to indicate. The Xpeng P7 market launch also apparently went well.

According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), exactly 16,798 electric cars were newly registered in Germany in July – a new record. This was 8,679 more than in June (8,119). Compared to the same month last year, this segment recorded an increase of 181.7 per cent!

In Norway, 4,408 new electric cars were registered in July. Electric cars accounted for 45.1 per cent of new passenger car registrations. With 775 units, the Audi e-tron was the most popular model across all drive types.

In June, the overall car market in Sweden declined by 21.3 per cent in comparison with the same month last year. At the same time, BEV and PHEV were still able to increase their market share significantly, thanks to the Swedish subsidy system.

In Norway, 5,041 new electric cars were registered in June. Electric cars accounted for 44 per cent of new passenger car registrations. With 707 units, the VW e-Golf was the most popular model across all drive types.

In China, 55,829 battery-electric cars and 14,370 plug-in hybrids from local production were sold in May. The sales figures for so-called New Energy Vehicles were thus 25.8 per cent lower than in the same month last year, but 19.5 per cent higher than in April 2020.

Despite the corona crisis and the resulting drop in car sales, the market share of BEV and PHEV in Sweden was again just over 20 per cent in May. The positive trend in electric sales is therefore continuing.

In Norway, 3,444 all-electric cars were registered in May, accounting for 43.1 per cent of all new passenger car registrations. With 610 units, the VW e-Golf was the most popular model across all drive types.

The latest CAM data for the electric car sector from Jan to April 2020 paints an uneven development. The study notices a strong increase in electric vehicles sales in Europe in general, the UK in particular, with an increase in PHEV cars in Germany.

Sales of electric cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles still increased across the EU in the first quarter of 2020. And while the Covid-19 crisis may explain the rather sudden tripling of market share, some countries and the segment as a whole experience robust growth.

Sweden’s passenger car market slumped by 36.9% YoY in April due to Covid-19. Nevertheless, electric and plug-in hybrid registrations achieved a market share of 21.6% – a trend that has been evident since the beginning of the year.

Initially, Poland had planned start spending a lavish purchase premium of 8,600 euros for low-cost electric cars from December. Then the country postponed the subsidy indefinitely for a short time. Nevertheless, e-car registrations are rising – a placebo effect?

The coronavirus crisis makes for interesting data. With the British car market at an all-time low – no more than 4,321 new cars were listed this April – electric cars, Tesla especially, came out on top with sales staying relatively stable YoY.

In Norway, 3,671 new electric cars were registered in April. Electric vehicles accounted for 49.4 per cent of new passenger car registrations. Once again, the Audi e-tron was the most popular model across all drive types.

ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, has published the registration figures in the EU for buses, trucks (from 3.5 tonnes) and vans in 2019 by type of drive. While the figures for buses and trucks have more than doubled, the electric vehicle segment has grown much more slowly.

In Sweden, electric cars and plug-in hybrids achieved a market share of 27.2 per cent in March. The winner among the plug-in cars was the Tesla Model 3 with a total of 1,084 new registrations.

Electric car sales in Norway continue the trend to take over market shares in strides. Pure battery-electric models show particular strength. Plug-in hybrid vehicles also continue to find favour across the country.

In Sweden, electric cars and plug-in hybrids achieved a market share of 24.3 per cent in February. The background to the new car registration boom is primarily a change in the Swedish subsidy system, which came into force at the turn of the year.

The Polish manufacturer Solaris plans to deliver more than 500 ordered battery buses this year. The proportion of electrified buses is increasing – and with it their importance for the entire company.

5,145 new zero-emission cars were registered in Norway in February just past. The market share of purely electric cars in new passenger car registrations was thus 49.7 per cent. In total, including HEV and PHEV, 79.2 per cent of all newly registered cars in Norway had either an electric or hybrid drive. The Audi e-tron […]

In 2019, the worldwide stock of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with battery-electric drives or with range extenders, as well as plug-in hybrid drives has increased to around 7.9 million, 2.3 million more than a year ago.

A total of 83 hydrogen filling stations went into operation worldwide in 2019, 36 of them in Europe, 38 in Asia, 8 in North America and one in the Arabic peninsula. In Germany 22 filling stations were added.

Dutch consultancy EVBoosters has released its latest funding report for 2019, with some of the trending developments reported here. Expect number-crunching covering Q4 in e-mobility funding and investment insights.

In Sweden, electric cars and plug-in hybrids achieved a market share of 30.2 per cent in January. The boom in new registrations is most likely to be the change in the Swedish bonus-malus system that came into force at the turn of the year.

The Dutch e-mobility consultancy EVBoosters crunched some numbers for e-mobility funding during Q3/2019. Using data from CrunchBase, a database for investments in tech start-ups primarily, the firm highlights trends and companies leading the chase for fresh capital.

With record sales of 367,000 passenger cars in 2019, Tesla has increased its deliveries by 50% and thus became by far the strongest selling electric car manufacturer in the past year, ahead of the Chinese manufacturer BYD with 219,000 new energy vehicles.
