I live here. This sentiment is everywhere


that has changed drastically recently. Big drops in sales in EU.


Other EV manufacturers are essentially picking up the lost sales and the EV market as a whole is up marginally.

And have other EV makers seen more success or have they all had declines?

Others have seen big increases.

> Tesla almost 60% fewer cars in Germany in January than in the year-earlier period... The overall segment of battery-electric vehicles, where Tesla is competing, however, gained popularity in January, with sales up 53.5% at almost 34,500 vehicles across all brands.

> A total of 405 new Teslas were registered in Sweden last month, down 44% from January 2024, while registrations in Norway fell to 689, a decline of 38% over the same period, despite soaring overall demand for cars in the two countries.

I tried to find individual manufacturer numbers but couldn't. I did find this:

> Global sales of fully electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) rose 17.7% year on year to 1.3 million in January, the third consecutive month of slowing growth, the Rho Motion data showed.

> Europe reported sales of 0.25 million, up 21% from the same month of 2024.
