EV sales rebound in Germany as Chinese brands make inroads Frankfurt, Germany, Jan 6 (AFP) Jan 06, 2026 Electric vehicle sales rebounded strongly in Germany in 2025, official data showed Tuesday, with Chinese manufacturers making inroads from a low base in the EU's largest economy. EV sales rose 43.2 percent last year to 545,142 in total, the KBA federal transport authority said, representing 19.1 percent of all new cars sold. Chinese EV giant BYD -- which last year overtook Elon Musk's Tesla to become the world's largest electric carmaker -- saw its German sales rise over 700 percent to more than 23,000 cars, giving it 0.8 percent of the overall auto market. "International vehicle manufacturers with affordable battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids have contributed disproportionately to growth in these segments," said Imelda Labbe, head of the VDIK foreign carmakers' lobby in Germany. vbw/sr/cw |
