Welcome back to EV News Daily. Today, we have a look at some Euro EV sales data. Tesla sales

of half in the last two years, and Genesis enters France. Plus, stay tuned later in the show.

I'll tell you why Volta Valks of Argon Group are back in court with Dieselgate. This thing rumbles on.

On EV News China, today we're talking about the EV boom over spring festival. Small EV sales are slumping and Neo achieving a swapping record.

Let's start with Germany then.

So, plug-in EVs took 35% of Germany's new car market in December last year.

That's up from 23% the same time the previous year.

B-EVs were 22% of Germany. Plug-in hybrids were 12%, a late year shift towards plug-in vehicles. For the full year last year,

in Germany, plugins were exactly 30% share, and it was pretty much up from exactly 20% share in 2024. Purebeves rose from 13 to 19%

plug-in hybrids climbed from 7 to 11. Overall, volumes changed little. Germany registered about

250,000 new cars in December last year. Now, in December's B-EV rankings, the VW ID7 led

the way with 3,000 registrations, then Schada Elrock, and then Volkswagen ID3. For the quarter last

year, it was ID7, then ID3, then ID4 and 5. We lump them together. Tesla in Germany

are certainly having a tough time. Tesla's Model Y fell 59% versus the same month in

2024. We always try and look at year on year with Tesla because you can't really look at monthly data month-to-month because of the way the exports and things like that work.

So try and look at year-on-year, try and smooth things out a little bit.

And certainly in Germany, even though they've got a factory dedicated to them there, having some issues with Tesla there.

Now, plug-in EVs took 68% of Sweden's passenger

car market in December last year. So that's 68.6% up from 62% a year earlier. For the full year,

2025, plugins were 63% in Sweden. That's up from 58% in 2024. The overall market is up slightly. Bev share has been rising, though. So pure Bev is now 36.5% for the full year in Sweden and plugin hybrids, 26%. What led the way? Well, in December, it was the Volvo

X-30. You'd be pleased to hear, Volvos and Sweden, still getting on very nicely. And that's

the head of the Polestar 4, also Swedish, and the Volkswagen ID 7. The X-40 also led the entire quarter of 2025 Q4, ahead of the VWID7 and Kia EV3.
