The Peugeot 208 overtakes the Fiat 500e as the best-selling electric car in June, but Renault and Tesla Model Y are close behind.
In June 2022, electric cars continued to grow in the new car market. With 21,888 units sold, they are even increasing in a struggling sector taking 12.8% of the share. In the first half of the year, their market share is 12.1% compared to 7.9% in 2021. But who manages to stand out in this rapidly growing category?
Gold for the Peugeot e-208 electric, but…
Months come and go, each different from the last. For the first time this year, the Peugeot e-208 takes the top spot in electric sales in June, as reported by the Avere-France figures. With 2,860 units sold, it surpasses an unexpected model, the Renault Twingo E-Tech electric. Its sales doubled compared to June 2021, overtaking the previously leading Renault ZOE, which struggles to surpass 2,000 units.
Behind, the Tesla Model Y enters the Top 5, marking a busy end to the quarter as is usual. However, it only ranks 4th with 1,964 units, just enough to contain the timid onslaught of the Renault Megane E-Tech electric. The French compact is itself closely followed by the Fiat 500e, which led the electric market in April and May.
Behind, the Dacia Spring continues its steady progress in 7th place, far ahead of the Tesla Model 3. Finally, the Hyundai Kona and Citroën ë-C4 complete the Top 10 of the electric car market for June 2022.

The plug-in hybrid car market in decline
On the hybrid front, the outlook is more grim. With 11,962 vehicles registered, this category is plummeting by -27%, even below the overall market. It now accounts for 7% of the market. Over the first 6 months of 2022, these cars are down 12% (62,810 units), representing an 8.1% share.
By model, the Mercedes-Benz GLC takes the lead in June with 724 registrations. The high-end large SUV thus surpasses the Citroën C5 Aircross Hybrid and the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid. Will the new Peugeot 408 Hybrid revitalize the market?
