EV sales jumped by almost one quarter, giving a boost to the entire European car market in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, as the European car manufacturing industry continues to grapple with uncertainty due to trade tensions across the globe.
“In Q1 2025, new EU car registrations declined by 1.9% compared to Q1 2024, with March 2025 figures showing a slight 0.2% year-on-year decline as the global economic context remains particularly challenging and unpredictable for auto makers”, said the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA).
