European car sales rose for a third consecutive month in September, as consumers were able to choose from a greater number of affordable electrified models.
New-vehicle registrations increased 11% from a weak year-earlier performance to 1.24 million units, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said Tuesday. Deliveries climbed in each of the region’s five biggest markets, with the UK and Germany posting gains of 14% and 13%, respectively.

BYD logged a nearly fivefold surge in European sales last month, a sign of how customers in the region are increasingly warming to the Chinese auto giant’s lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles.
New-car registrations for BYD models, a reflection of sales, almost quintupled on year to 24,963 vehicles in Europe last month, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, an industry body also known as ACEA.
The jump in sales, the third since July after ACEA began including China’s largest automaker in its monthly data, underscores the appeal of BYD’s lineup in Europe, even though absolute sales remain far below those of established domestic carmakers
Meanwhile, registrations for Elon Musk’s Tesla fell 10.5% in Europe and nearly 19% in the EU alone last month, according to ACEA data, adding to a streak of disappointing monthly sales for the company this year.
It appears momentum is in BYD corner thus far.
I fully expect Tesla to remain #1 & #2 model sales in 2025.
It was expected, by me anyway, that Tesla market share would dip as more EVs, especially cheaper ones, enter the market space. IMO the China surge is due to price.
It remains to be seen whether China EV’s reliability is as good as European domestic made EVs.
Will an EV pricing war emerge within EU?
