The growth rate exceeds that of all car companies in the EU market.
Will Europe, dominated by German cars, soon be taken over by Tesla?
On Tuesday local time, data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed that$Tesla (TSLA.US)$The number of new car registrations in EU countries reached 19,249 in February, an increase of about 49.7% over 1,8860 vehicles in the same period last year.The month-on-month growth rate was 1.73%.
The growth rate of nearly 50% exceeds that of all car companies in the EU marketIn January, Tesla's growth rate was not as fast as Stellantis's Alfa Romeo and Volkswagen's Cupra.
The data also shows that Tesla's share in the EU passenger car market in February was 2.4%, up from 1.8% in the same period last year.However, the share of the pure electric vehicle market in the EU was 19.8%, up from 18.5% in the same period last year.
The rapid increase in Tesla sales was mainly due to the Model Y.
Since November of last year, Model Y has been at the top of the European electric vehicle sales list for three consecutive months.
According to data from automobile data analyst JATO Dynamics, the number of new Model Y car registrations reached 7,174 in January.It is over 69% higher than Renault's 4,242 Dacia Spring models, which are in second place.
However, compared to being far ahead in terms of sales, what is more remarkable is the huge price difference between first and second place.
In Germany, for example, the price of the Model Y rear-wheel drive version is 4,4890 euros, and the long-life version is 5,4990 euros, which is more than double the price of the Dacia Spring starting at 20,490 euros.
In addition, delivery of Model S and X began after a two-year hiatus, which also contributed to Tesla's sales growth.
