The German car market seems to have bottomed out and is back on a growth trajectory. Sales in November increased by a staggering 31%. That said, it's still not enough to pull the year-to-date (YTD) numbers out of the red (-2% y/y). Much of this growth can be attributed to plug-ins, with full electric vehicle (BEV) sales up 44% year-over-year (YoY). With 57,588 BEV registrations last month, this is a new record and coincidentally accounts for 22% of the total market. On the other hand, plug-in hybrids (PHEV) he increased by 61%. Those numbers are expected to rise further in his December. With PHEVs no longer eligible for EV incentives next year and BEVs with reduced subsidies, there should be a sales rush in December. In any case, his November registrations for PHEVs were his 44,539, another record month for the category and his 17% share of the overall automotive market.
A 39% plug-in vehicle share in November brings the year-to-date score to 29% (16% BEV).a 30% (or 31%?) Results by the end of the year seem not only possible, but likely.
The top half of the table featured three more record performances, with the Dacia Spring 9th with 2,035 registrations, the stylish Opel Mokka EV with 2,031 registrations and the sporty Cupra Bone 7th with a record 2,089 registrations. . .
This last result represents a recent increase in production of the MEB family, just in time for the current surge in sales. Not only did the Spanish EV achieve record results, but its premium sibling the Audi Q4 e-tron also achieved record results, achieving 1,498 registrations. The sporty Volkswagen ID.5 records a record 774 registrations, the long-awaited VW ID.BUZZ records its first volume month (642 registrations), the Audi e-tron (!) and the Porsche Taycan (!!!) also participated in incentives. -Derived Surge — Record results from both high-end models. The big Audi reached its 1,486th registration last month just before the end of production. ice school Porsche EV achieved 886 registrations in November.
As for the VW ID.3 and VW ID.4, which finished fifth and sixth respectively, they have yet to impress in their home markets, but it is true that they are on the right track. The hatchback model recorded his 3,619 registrations, the best result since September 2021. Meanwhile, the crossover model records his second best result to date with his 2,097 registrations behind his 2,300 reached in December 2020 when the ID.4 just launched. Did. Does this mean the two models will finally get their destiny in 2023?
Other models also achieved record results in the second half of the table, including the Mercedes A-Series PHEV in 11th place (2,009 units) and the VW Tiguan PHEV in 13th place (1,747 units). of PHEV incentives.

The French brand hopes to replicate at least some of the success Renault Zoe once achieved on the other side of the Rhine. The stylish Polestar 2 saw him finish the month in 15th place thanks to his 1,669 registrations. This is also his second consecutive record.Even Hyundai could allocate more Ioniq 5s to Germany, an attractive retro XXL hatchback It finished the month in 20th place with a record 1,475 units.
Beyond the Top 20, there's a lot more to talk about. While BMW pushed sales of his PHEVs in the conventional 3 Series (a record 1,451 units) and 5 Series (a record 1,049 units), his BEV models are expected to benefit from the current surge in sales. was not possible. The i4 liftback finished with just 359 registrations and his flagship iX finished with 429 registrations. Yes its low.
At the same time, rival Mercedes Ignition on all cylinders Charges at full speed with some record performance. In addition to the aforementioned A-Series record results, others such as the new C-Series PHEV (1,143 registrations), GLE PHEV (1,078 registrations), and all electric EQA (1,155 registrations) and EQB. Four models scored record scores. (777 registrations). 869 registered B-series PHEV compact MPVs! (Unfortunately, compact MPVs are a dying breed in Europe, so it's good news that representatives of this category achieve record results.)
heck, even veteran The smart fortwo EV showed signs of life by setting a new year record with 1,434 registrations and a reminder that small two-seaters still exist.
Stellantis also takes productivity to the next level.

Germany's best-selling plug-in cars 20 - November 2022
The German plugin market is known for surprises, and November brought another surprise. If the Tesla model that won the German plug-in market doesn't come up, German crossover body It's a Tesla Model Y Chinese midsize sedan Tesla Model 3, now it's something worth reflecting on. The Model 3's 6,811 units represented the best off-peak performance ever for a sedan in Germany, placing it third in the overall German market. This was an unexpected performance. in vogue Model Y remained in fourth place with 3,867 units, behind the Fiat 500e in third place and the Ford Kuga PHEV in second place. This unique action of two Tesla nameplates represents the current moment in the German EV market. Due to the change in incentives, the last month of the year saw a sales rush not only from real private buyers, but also from pre-registrants. This benefits his OEMs and models that are not subject to production constraints. Also, the Model 3 is in less demand than the Model Y globally, so Tesla could offer more Model 3 units than Model Y units to meet this peak demand in Germany. (And pre-registration peak?) of model 3. This is a record month, and for the reasons mentioned above, there are 12 models in this top 20, achieving record results. One of the highlights is the #2 Ford Kuga PHEV (4,649 registrations). Dearborn is squeezing everything it can out of its plug-in hybrid crossovers before the subsidy ends. Another was the Fiat 500e, which finished the month in his third place with 3,904 registrations. This contributed to his 57% of all Fiat model sales in November and was a new all-time high for the little Italian. This allowed the Italian model to finish the month in his second place overall in the car market. Also, something of a surprise is the fact that the Tesla Model Y, which ranked 4th in the plug-in market, was also 7th in the overall market. So the overall top 10 included him 4 plug-in models. Will the majority of plug-in models make it into the overall top 10 for December?
