West European plug-in sales hit 443,000 units in Q1 2021

2021’s opening three-month period witnessed 443,000 plug-in car deliveries, resulting in the second-highest quarterly volume on record, according to provisional Schmidt Automotive Research data.

It was plug-in hybrid models that dominated those rechargeable vehicles, soaking up 245,000 new registrations compared to 198,000 pure electric models according to the latest data, published every month in the European Electric Car Report.

Germany now accounts for almost every third (Q1 2021 32.8% regional plug-in share) plug-in car (PHEV/BEV) registered across the 18 market region, or more than the following two largest markets (France/UK) combined.

Plug-in volumes in Sweden (Q1 2021: 32,400 ) have now surpassed Norway (29,800) to become the largest Nordic market in terms of plug-in vehicles this year – and the fourth largest market in the region – thanks to a rush for PHEVs in March before the Swedish Bonus Malus system is altered to reflect greater benefits for BEVs and the opposite for PHEVs.

Almost 16 per cent of all the new passenger car models that entered West European roads during the opening quarter of 2021 were rechargeable vehicles, falling by 3.3 percentage points over the record final quarter of last year (19.2%) that witnessed record plug-in volumes in a rush to meet tightened CO2 fleet emission levels that were phased-in last year.

The 12-month cumulative xEV new passenger car registrations across the region rose to 1.55 million units with PHEVs now under 50,000 units away from reaching parity with BEVs over a 12-month period.
