Hello everyone, today Xiaobian has come to share information with you again. A few days ago, it was reported that the German auto market in April this year was seriously affected by the shortage of supply, and the biggest winners in the market that month were Polestar and Tesla.
It is understood that according to relevant data, the number of new car registrations in the country fell by 22% year-on-year last month to 180264.
Among them, the registration of pure electric vehicles fell by 6.9% to 22,175 units, with a market share of 12.3%; the registration of plug-in hybrid vehicles fell by 20% to 21,697 units, with a market share of 12%. As of April, cumulative new car registrations in Germany fell 9% year-on-year to 806218.
In April 2022, Germany, Europe's largest automotive market, had a 24.3% share of the new energy vehicle market, up from 22.1% in the same period last year. Despite a slight increase in share, sales of new energy vehicles declined, down 13.6% year-on-year.
However, sales of Polestar and Tesla are rising, with Polestar rising a staggering 203% and Tesla rising 34%. In contrast, due to the shortage of components, established automakers such as Volkswagen have had to reduce the production of electric vehicles.
Well, that's all for this issue, see you in the next issue.
