EVWire brief: 951,653 battery-electric vehicles were sold in Europe (EU+EFTA+UK) between January and May 2025, up 27.8% from the same period last year. EV market share achieved 17.1% in Europe. That’s a significant jump from 13.38% EV market share in January-May 2024!

This means every 6th car sold in Europe so far this year is fully electric.

The top five markets per EV units sold in Europe in Jan-May 2025 are

  1. Germany 201,563 EVs (+43.2% YoY)

  2. UK 177,487 (+33.4%)

  3. France 119,475 (-7.1%, subsidy changes)

  4. Belgium 57,362 (+26.7%)

  5. Norway 52,949 (+41.5%)

Norway, the obvious leader in the rEVolution, achieved 93.9% electric share in sales for May and kept its year-to-date EV share above 92%.

The biggest growth in EVs sold in Europe in Jan-May 2025 was achieved by:

  1. Czechia, with 5,552 EVs (+111.7% YoY)

  2. Iceland, 1,738 EVs (+81.0%)

  3. Spain, 35,025 EVs (+78.6%)

  4. Italy, 36,752 EVs (+70.4%)

  5. Denmark 45,056 (+55.5%)

Denmark here is especially notable, as it also has a very high EV market share already, reaching 63.90% so far this year!

We will put together a comprehensive EV sales overview across 50+ countries, just like we did for the full year 2024, when we get the June sales information to explore the first half of 2025.
