Sales of Chinese electric vehicles in Europe continue to power ahead and the advance is expected to gain momentum. But new models planned by local manufacturers should help bring it under control and flatten out the trend before the end of the decade.
Schmidt Automotive Research said Western Europe market share for Chinese EVs will jump to 11.0% this year or 269,450 vehicles, up from 9.6% in 2024, and compared with only 3.8% in 2021. Chinese market share will peak at 13.0% in 2028 and slip back to 11.7% in 2030 or 756,000 vehicles.
Western Europe includes the 5 largest markets of Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Spain.
