This shift had been looming for quite some time. In October, the MG4 overtook the queen, the Model Y, at the top of electric sales.

In October, the Tesla Model Y was surpassed by the MG4, the low-cost Chinese electric compact that is taking France by storm, with 1,864 units sold. It’s hard to imagine that this has no connection to the upcoming loss of the Green Bonus announced for December 15… Hence this very clear communication from the Sino-British manufacturer: Order quickly before December 15 and choose a delivery date possible until March 15, 2024.

However, the Tesla Model Y remains respectable with 1,833 registrations. But the euphoria is fading, as the manufacturer delivered over 5,000 Model Y vehicles in France in September alone.

This data also calls for reflection. Out of the 1,864 registered vehicles, were all of them actually sold? Are some dealerships tempted to pocket the valuable Bonus with phantom registrations? Others might be doing so at the end of the year to inflate sales figures. The statistics for November and December will be very revealing in this regard!

But the best-seller is neither the Tesla Model Y nor the MG4, but the Dacia Spring. This low-cost city car had a very successful October, with 3,291 registrations. Again, the end of the Bonus on December 15 for the Spring manufactured in China, thus accelerating sales. Everything makes sense.

Overall, the electric market continues to perform exceptionally well, buoyed by these three best-sellers. Last month, it accounted for 17.2% of registrations, a 50% increase over 12 months. The transition is underway.
