    Last year it was “Look at those Chinese EV manufacturers increasing their sales by X-hundred %”, when in reality it was on the lower end compared to European EV’s increases and also from “no market share to still no market share worth mentioning”.

    Now it’s “Tesla registrations up by x-hundred %”… and the moment we get actual numbers and details it’s probably less than other cars and purely based on company registrations that got those shelf warmers really cheap.

    On one hand this constant media bullshit is annoying, but on the other hand it’s probably a very good sign how much work and money gets spend so the media constantly tells us those stories about what a failure European EVs (and sovereign European tech… and renewables in general… and… and…) are. You can basically smell the panic.

    But to not just rant about yet another idiotic story, here are some recent German EV marktshares:

    • Volkswagen 18.8%
    • BMW 9.5%
    • Skoda 9.3%
    • Audi 7.4%
    • Mercedes 6.4%
    • Seat 6.0%
    • Hyundai 4.6%
    • Ford 3.8%
    • Tesla 3.6%
    • Opel 3.4%
    • Mini 2.8%
    • Kia 2.8%
    • Renault 2.3%
    • Fiat 2.3%
    • BYD 2.0%
