New passenger car registrations in Spain decreased in June by 8% year-over-year to 90,990. During the first half of the year, new registrations decreased by 12% year-over-year to 415,575.
The plug-in electric car segment is in better shape because it still notes some growth, but the rate of growth significantly slowed down in the two recent months to less than 10% year-over-year.
According to EnergyTransition Fan, some 7,464 new plug-in electric cars were registered in June (up 6% year-over-year), which is 8.2% of the market. The majority of plug-ins happen to be plug-in hybrids.
Hopefully, the plug-in market will be able to maintain growth in the coming months. With resumed production at many European plants, there is a big chance for that.
So far this year, more than 38,000 new passenger plug-ins were registered in Spain. Most are plug-in hybrids.
In terms of the most popular all-electric models, the Tesla Model 3 remains the top choice with 1,588 units year-to-date (including 451 in June). The Kia Niro EV is second (1,056), while the Fiat 500 electric is thing (872).
Some of the plug-in hybrids are also selling quite well, including the Jeep Compass 4xe (901), Peugeot 3008 PHEV (894) and Ford Kuga PHEV (877).
Local brands - SEAT and Cupra, or even the broader Volkswagen Group, are currently far behind other manufacturers.
