Europe February 2025
Petrol (36% share, down 24% YoY) and Diesel (9% share, -28% YoY) are in a death spiral, while HEVs (35% share, +35% YoY) continue to grow and are becoming quickly the preferred powertrain in the continent.
At this pace, Diesel will be dead before the end of the decade, while Petrol should follow it a couple of years later (2031? 2032?), leaving the European market fully electrified by then.
But with the EU's 2035 target demanding 100% zero emission vehicles, will the market be ready to go 100% BEV in 2035?
The Tesla Model Y is back at #1, but with sales far below the levels of last year, it won't be a walk in the park. The Model 3 could even lose the runner-up status this year.
The VW ID.4 and Renault 5 could be the ones to get in the way of the two US models.
A reference to the success of the VW ID.7, it might be the first direct competitor to Tesla in the midsize segment.
VW Group is firmly in the lead, followed by the BMW Group and a recovering Stellantis.

China February 2025
27% BEV Share so far, in 2025.
45% share if we include PHEVs.
Expect H1 to end with the PEV share above 50% and the last months of the year should end above 66% share (BEV+PHEV).
Even at a moderate growth rates, say an average of 15% per year, the Chinese automotive market should be fully electrified by 2030!
Xiaomi SU7 already appears in #4, being the best selling sedan in China, all powertrains counted!
Will the upcoming Xiaomi YU7 beat the SU7's success and become China's Best Selling Model, all powertrains included?
BYD recovered ground, all while Tesla dropped out of the Top 5.
Is Tesla becoming irrelevant in China?

World EV Sales - January 2025
Tesla is no longer the Best Selling BEV Maker in the World -
That is now BYD.
- Looking at the bright side of Tesla, the Model Y is still the Best Selling EV in the World;
- But the surprise of the month was the Geely Geome Xingyuan (Who?!?!), that started the year in 3rd and relegated the Tesla Model 3 to 3rd;
- Oh, and a certain Xiaomi SU7 is already 6th globally...despite only being sold in China.
- Podium with BYD, Tesla and Geely;
- Best Selling Legacy brand (Volkswagen) is only 5th;
- Geely Group has three brands (Geely, Volvo and Lynk & Co) in the Top 20.
- Whether BEV only, or adding PHEVs, the podium is the same - #1 BEV; #2 Geely; #3 Tesla;
- The other two positions also remain the same, with or without PHEVs - #4 VW Group and #5 SAIC.
