The French electric vehicle market has recently seen significant growth, and its sales have surpassed traditional gasoline vehicles for the first time, and the Tesla Model 3 has led the French electric vehicle market and promoted the electric revolution in the French automobile market.
In the first quarter of 2022, France successfully achieved the first time in history that the sales of electric vehicles surpassed gasoline vehicles, which is an important milestone, especially in the context of the nearly 20% decline in new car sales in France in March, the success of electric vehicles seems to be more remarkable, and due to the impact of the epidemic and the war, some car manufacturers continue to face supply chain problems in the first quarter, coupled with the sharp rise in energy dependence of European countries due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The sharp rise in gasoline prices in Europe has clearly promoted the process of European users switching to electric vehicles, and switching to electric vehicles is not only environmentally friendly, but also economically.
According to industry data (PFA) provided by car company Plateforme, sales of all-electric and hybrid models in France in the first quarter of 2022 were close to 40% (11.9% of pure electric vehicles), while sales of gasoline models were 38.3% and diesel models were 16.5%.
In addition, according to Reuters, the leading sales of electric vehicles is still the Tesla Model 3, which registered 6,636 cars; in second place is Dacia Spring (Dacia's electric vehicle), with 4,953 registrations; Peugeot 208 ranks third (Reuters did not report the registration information of the model, but provided overall sales data for the Peugeot 208 II); Reno Zoe registered 3,577 vehicles, ranking fourth, Hyundai Kona with 3,025 The Model Y ranked in the top 5 with 1,845 vehicles.
France's positive attitude towards electric vehicles is a good phenomenon, which also provides a good market for the development of other electric vehicles after that, and it is worth mentioning that once Tesla's Berlin factory increases production, then Tesla's vehicles will become more affordable for European countries, which will inevitably further ** the demand of related countries.
