On May 27, data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) on Wednesday revealed that European car sales experienced a third consecutive month of growth in April, as consumers flocked to purchase numerous electric and hybrid models. New car registrations climbed 7% year-on-year, reaching 1.15 million units. Sales surged in major markets like Germany and the UK, while electric vehicle (EV) deliveries skyrocketed by 38%. Spurred by new subsidy policies, Germany—Europe's largest car market—witnessed a remarkable 41% increase in EV sales. Concurrently, sales of hybrid models rose, whereas those of gasoline and diesel cars declined, signaling that the European auto market is rapidly transitioning toward electrification. Following a downturn in early 2025, Tesla's European sales surged by 47% year-on-year in April. Additionally, Volkswagen, Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW also saw an uptick in deliveries.
