For Tesla, 2025 has not started in the best way, and there is also negative news in Italy. ⁢Here is the best-selling BEV.

Electric cars are struggling to win over‍ customers,and even those who have dominated this sector for many years are beginning to feel the effects of the ⁢crisis. tesla saw its sales fall by ⁣1.1% in 2024 compared to the previous year, and for⁢ the ‍first time in the last decade, it failed to increase registrations from one year to the next. This was an initial warning sign, and the feeling is that it was the beginning of ⁤the end, at least looking at what is happening in recent ⁢months.

Across Europe, a similar trend is⁢ emerging. Tesla sales ⁣have seen major drops in markets around the world. In France, Tesla sales plummeted by 63%, in Sweden by 44%, in the Netherlands by ⁤42%,⁤ and in Norway by 38%. The decline was more moderate in the UK, at just under 12% — but even there, total EV registrations reached an all-time high.

The support policies for Donald Trump by Elon ‍musk ⁣were not appreciated by customers, especially after that pseudo-Nazi salute dating back to the day of the tycoon’s inauguration. Tesla’s sales have collapsed worldwide, especially in Germany and China, markets of considerable importance for the zero-emission car giant.Even in Italy, sales data are not‍ positive, as confirmed by the ranking that we will ‍report in the next few lines. In ⁢fact, the best-selling BEV in our country is not a Tesla, but ⁤a small, economical car.

Electric Cars: Dacia ⁢Spring Takes Center Stage⁤ in Italy

After the first two months ⁣of 2025,it is possible to start taking stock of sales,and focusing‍ on electric cars,we have an‍ interesting surprise. The ‍Dacia Spring is the best-selling BEV in our country so far with 1,421 registrations, doing much better than⁢ Tesla. In second place⁤ in the ranking, for ⁢the moment, is the Citroen e-C3 with 1,082, with a market share of 7.9% against the 10.4% obtained by the Spring, which leads the ranking. On the podium is the Tesla Model 3 with 642 units sold.

The Italian⁣ EV market in January 2025 shows a⁢ “robust⁢ appetite⁤ for either budget-friendly small cars or well-known brand ⁢crossovers.”

January 2025 Italian BEV sales

These five models alone ⁢account for over‍ 20% of Italy’s BEV sales in January.
