Electromobility: significantly more e-cars approved

Almost 39,400 electric cars came to the German roads last month. That was almost 46 percent more than in the same month, as the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) announced. At 19 percent, almost every fifth new car was a battery vehicle in August.

The US car maker Tesla is still decoupled from the positive development. While the Chinese competition in Germany with its electric models is more and more a foothold, the sales of Tesla vehicles also decreased sharply in August. Only around 1,400 vehicles were re -approved in this country. That was almost 40 percent less than in the same month. In the previous course of the year, the Tesla new registrations even decreased by 56 percent.

The fact that significant more electric cars were approved in total is also due to the extremely low level of previous year. Due to the eliminated grant, the sales of electric cars had broken in in 2024. The market has recovered again this year.

“But that’s not a real electric boom,” said mobility expert Constantin Gall from the consulting company EY. The currently high heel is primarily due to the tax funding of company cars and high manufacturer discounts.

Last month, around 207,230 cars in Germany were re -approved across all drive types and segments. That was five percent more than in August of the previous year.
