EVs Take 35.5% Share Of The UK - BYD Atto 2 Launches - CleanTechnica
In September, plugin electric vehicles (EVs) captured a 35.5% share of the UK auto market, up from 29.4% the previous year. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 23.3% of sales, growing 29% year-on-year, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) reached 12.2%, up 56%. Overall vehicle sales rose 14% to 312,891 units. Tesla remained the leading BEV brand with 10.9% market share, followed by Ford at 9.1% and BYD at 7.5%. Ford notably overtook Volkswagen for second place in a Tesla-dominated month, and BYD achieved a record third place, supported by a diverse lineup including the popular Sealion model. The UK government’s reintroduction of BEV purchase incentives, despite initial implementation issues, appears to be boosting lower-priced EV sales within the new £42,000 price cap. This

In September, plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) achieved a record market share of 98.9% in Norway, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) alone capturing 98.3%. This marks a significant increase from the previous year’s 97.5% combined share and 96.4% BEV share. The overall auto market volume rose by about 11% year-on-year to 14,329 units. The surge in BEV adoption is attributed to tax policy changes implemented in April, which further discouraged purchases of non-BEV powertrains. Among residual powertrain types, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) hold a 0.6% share, slightly more than hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and petrol-only vehicles (both at 0.2%), while diesel-only vehicles still account for 0.7%, mainly due to niche market needs valuing reliability. The Tesla Model Y dominated the Norwegian market in September, selling 4,123 units

In August, BYD experienced a mixed sales performance: while its overall passenger car sales declined by 5.9% year-over-year—the first monthly drop in some time—its battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales increased significantly by 24.3%. This contrast indicates a shift within BYD’s product mix, as plugin hybrid sales fell sharply by 25.6% compared to the same month in 2023. The decline in plugin hybrids contributed to the overall downturn in passenger vehicle sales despite the strong growth in BEVs. The article suggests that although the overall sales picture for BYD in August was not favorable, the rise in BEV sales is a positive sign for the company’s electric vehicle segment. Further detailed analysis and insights are expected from industry expert Larry Evans, who closely monitors BYD’s performance. The piece underscores the importance of tracking these trends to understand BYD’s evolving market position amid shifting consumer preferences toward fully electric vehicles.
energyelectric-vehiclesBEVBYDclean-energyrenewable-energyautomotive-salesThe Issues with PHEV Usage Reflect the Challenges to BEV Adoption - CleanTechnica
The article from CleanTechnica discusses the challenges faced by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and how these issues mirror broader obstacles to battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption. A key point is that many PHEV owners do not regularly plug in their vehicles, effectively using them as conventional hybrids. This behavior stems from factors such as limited availability of affordable, capable PHEVs and BEVs in Western markets. While China offers PHEVs with sufficient electric range (around 200 km) and competitive pricing, Western markets mostly have less capable PHEVs that rely more on internal combustion engines (ICE), and BEVs remain relatively expensive compared to ICE vehicles. Increased market competition and expanded availability of capable electric vehicles are needed to reduce prices and improve adoption. Another significant barrier is the insufficient fuel cost differential between gasoline and electricity in many countries. In Western nations, gasoline often costs about five times more per liter than electricity per kWh, but public charging markups can negate the cost

In August 2025, plugin electric vehicles (EVs) captured a 30.6% market share in Germany, a significant increase from 20.6% a year earlier. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 19.0% of sales, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) made up 11.6%. Despite this apparent growth, the year-to-date BEV share in 2025 (17.9%) remains slightly below the comparable period in 2023 (18.6%), partly due to distortions from incentive changes and sales pull-forwards in 2023. PHEV sales, benefiting from longer electric ranges, have shown more consistent growth, reaching a 10.1% share year-to-date, up from 6.2% in 2024 and 5.6% in 2023. The arrival of more affordable BEV models is also broadening consumer options. The Volkswagen ID.3 continued as the best

BYD's August 2025 sales data reveals a mixed performance in its electric vehicle segments. Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales increased significantly by 34.4% year-over-year for August and were up 39.4% for the first eight months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This growth, while solid, is more moderate than the company’s earlier hypergrowth phases. Conversely, BYD’s plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) sales declined by 22.7% in August 2025 compared to August 2024, although PHEV sales were still up 8.4% for the year-to-date period. The decline in PHEV sales may indicate market saturation or shifting consumer preferences in China. The combined effect of these trends resulted in a marginal 0.2% increase in overall passenger plug-in vehicle sales for BYD in August 2025 year-over-year, signaling a slowdown from previous rapid growth.
