Tesla’s sales across Europe are continuing to slide, even as demand for electric cars rises.
The latest car sales data, just released, shows that Tesla sold 8,729 vehicles across the European Union last month, down from 14,682 in May 2024. That’s a 40.5% drop, which shrinks Tesla’s market share from 1.6% to 0.9%
Overall, sales of electric cars rose by 25% last month – with 142,776 battery electric cars sold, up from 114,231 in May 2024.
ACEA, the industry body that collates the data, reports:
Up until May 2025, battery-electric cars accounted for 15.4% of the total EU market share, an increase from the low baseline of 12.1% in May 2024 YTD.
Hybrid-electric car registrations continue to surge, capturing 35.1% of the market, remaining the preferred choice among EU consumers.
Meanwhile, the combined market share of petrol and diesel cars fell to 38.1%, down from 48.5% over the same period in 2024.
The overall European car market grew by 1.6% in May, year on year, but is down 0.6% during 2025.

- BYD is killing it in the UK at the moment. You won't see many Chinese driving them though as in China they are a budget brand.microkorg
