Volkswagen’s ID.3 electric vehicle (EV) ended 2020 as Europe’s second best-selling car as COVID-19 triggered a 25% full-year market decline - its worst result since 1993.
The ID.3 hatchback was outsold by only the VW Golf hatchback in December as Tesla’s Model 3 EV finished third in the region’s best-sellers ranking last month, leading Jato Dynamics analyst Felipe Munoz to suggest that registrations results were starting to serve as proof that “Europe is getting ready for an EV revolution”.
Despite the optimism surrounding increased alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) penetration, however, the volume of new car registrations across Europe during December fell by 3.8% year-on-year to 1,212,858 units, according to Jato’s data from 27 markets.
