), is all the more puzzling given that end-of-year EV sales tend to come with a big push by at least some carmakers . But none of that happened this time around, leaving pure electrics to trail most other powertrains.
Plugin hybrids yet again showed better results than BEVs, scoring 5,473 registrations, or 5.1% market share. This was also a decline YoY from the 5,700+ registrations PHEVs boasted twelve months before, but not nearly as bad as the result from BEVs. The surprising decline of plugins in an otherwise rebounding car market caused their combined market share to decline more substantially YoY to 9.4%, when just a year before it had reached 13.4%.The Smart ForTwo claimed the last top spot of the year, albeit with a not-so-impressive 447 registrations. The Tesla Model Y followed closely in second position with 412 registrations, a rather weak result in what would normally be one of the four delivery peaks of the year, if not the highest overall.
In another subdued month for electric mobility, it is not just the low sales numbers of A-segment popular minis that raises alarm, but also the absence of the usual end-of-year push by Tesla, which was regularly in action elsewhere on the Continent.
