Summary
- Volkswagen beat Tesla in European EV sales across the first three months of 2025, data shows.
- Registrations for VW EVs are up more than 150%, while Tesla lost huge ground.
- However, the Model Y and Model 3 remain Europe’s top two most-registered EVs.
In my view it’s mostly about regenerative braking, to get away from cvts (I can’t see how those things will last), more torque from the electric motor, more fuel efficient Atkinson cycle.
