Electric cars are starting off fairly well in 2023 in France. They reached a 13.1% market share in January.
In a French automobile market that is regaining some momentum (+8.8% in January), electric cars continue their slow but steady rise. With a total of 14,629 registrations in January 2023, their sales increased by 43.2%, capturing 13.1% of the market share.
The top spot goes to the Dacia Spring. With nearly 2,000 registrations last month, the city car from the Renault group easily outperforms its runner-up, the Fiat 500 Electric. The Megane E-Tech climbs onto the last step of the podium. As for the rest, note the slow decline of the Renault Zoe, as well as the strong performance of the MG4, the only Chinese car in the top 10.
Tesla is somewhat lagging behind, but no conclusions can be drawn from this phenomenon. In terms of deliveries, the curves are often sinusoidal for the American manufacturer, but the smoothed results are almost always positive. The price reductions implemented earlier this year should also lead to a new significant increase in Model 3 and Model Y sales.
In the used car market, it’s no surprise that the Renault Zoe dominates first place (1,628 units). It is ahead of the Peugeot e-208 and the Tesla Model 3 (respectively 582 and 517 units).
