In this DataPulse Podcast episode, we analyze the latest developments in the European electric vehicle (EV) market-and why Tesla is increasingly falling behind.
The latest data show: While the European market for electric cars continues to grow strongly, Tesla’s sales are dropping dramatically. In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla’s sales across Europe fell by 44%-even though the total number of newly registered EVs rose by almost 24%. The decline is especially pronounced in key markets such as Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark, while competitors like Volkswagen, Renault, BYD, and others are seeing strong growth.
The EU is tightening its regulations on EVs from China, which directly affects Tesla, since a significant portion of its vehicles for Europe are produced in its Chinese factory. Additional tariffs and stricter approval rules could further weaken Tesla’s position.
We discuss how these developments will impact Tesla’s future and the European EV market-and which manufacturers are now benefiting from Tesla’s weakness.
