The Tesla Model Y, despite experiencing some sales declines in certain months, remained the top-selling BEV in Europe. This trend continued into May 2025, with the Model Y holding onto the number one spot, followed by the Skoda Elroq and various Volkswagen models[1].
The Model Y's dominance is evident in the cumulative table as well, with the vehicle leading the way, having registered 35,192 units between January and April 2025. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3, which has seen a more significant decline in sales, slipped behind the Volkswagen ID.4 in second place in April[1].
The Skoda Enyaq ranked fourth in BEV sales for the month, with 25,540 units registered. Close behind were the combined sales of the Renault 5 and Alpine A290, which totalled 6,800 models delivered.
The BMW iX1 made its debut in the top 10 BEV sales in April, with 19,676 deliveries and a 2.6% share of the market. The Volkswagen ID.7, which saw a boost from strong April sales, finished just 11 units behind the Enyaq.
