Auto Sales Insights from November
In November, plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) captured a market share of 21.6% in France, a decrease from 25.0% compared to the same month last year. This decline was primarily due to underwhelming performance from plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), while battery electric vehicle (BEV) shares experienced a slight increase year-over-year (YoY). Total automobile sales staked at 114,673 units, marking an over 6% drop YoY and falling short of pre-pandemic seasonal averages that hovered around 150,000 units. Notably, the newly launched Renault 5 emerged as the top-selling BEV for November, outperforming competitors like Tesla’s Model Y.
Year-On-Year Comparison: Plugin EV Markets
In January’s sales figures for combined plug-in EVs also stood at 21.6%, comprising 17.4% BEVs and 4.2% PHEVs—contrasting with previous year stats showing a total of 25%, divided into 16.4% BEVs and significantly higher PHEV numbers at approximately 8.6%.
The substantial drop in PHEV volume — plummeting from about 10,545 down to just over half at around 4,852 — resulted in halved market share figures and adversely affected overall plugin EV shares as well.
This dip can be attributed largely to new weight-based taxes being enforced on PHEVs starting January this year; these taxes had not been applicable prior to this change.
The Resilience of BEVs Amid Market Declines
Despite an overall downturn within the automotive sector resulting in average monthly volumes decreasing by around 6 percent, BEV volumes only fell marginally by less than half a percent indicating their strengthening foothold within the segment.
Interestingly enough, both hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and mild hybrids recorded remarkable increases where their share surged dramatically from 26.6 percent up to 44.9 percent YoY—highlighting that legacy automakers are predominantly leveraging mild hybrids as their primary approach for complying with tighter emissions regulations set for 2025.
With previous years reflecting stricter emission benchmarks announced in both 2020 and early 2021, we can anticipate escalated growth trajectories for BEV adoption amongst traditional automakers leading up toward this year’s heightened requirements.
Accordingly, esteemed French industry insiders posit that it’s feasible or even critical for BEV penetration rates alongside tight regulations—projected somewhere close to an average of around 22 percent across major European markets this calendar year—to witness significant growth once more despite current challenges limiting expansion routes.
Challenges Presented by Internal Combustion Engines
While battery-powered options have gained ground incrementally yearly amid fluctuating demands across various segments lately observed under pressure,
it is evident ICE-only powertrains incurred significant declines during January sales – matching expectations given tightened environmental standards increasing industry scrutiny surrounding fossil fuel practices moving ahead into further regulatory phases requiring compliance: diesel engines nosedived about 48 percent down YoY translating roughly into just 4¸956 units, corresponding towards record lows approximating 4٫3 percent total market representation; furthermore gasoline-centric alternatives shed about 28 percent yields arriving below ineffective initial quotas lining(around
