Tesla's European sales slump for fifth month as EV rivals gain momentum

  • Tesla's European sales declined for the fifth consecutive month by 27.9% in May 2025 amid rising overall EV sales across the continent.
  • This slump followed increased competition and consumer reluctance driven by high prices, limited charging infrastructure, and political factors surrounding Tesla's CEO Elon Musk.
  • Although Tesla's sales in Europe dropped by 37.1% to 75,196 units during the initial months of 2025 compared to the same timeframe in 2024, overall electric vehicle sales across the continent increased by 26.1%.
  • Battery-Electric vehicles accounted for 15.4% of new car sales in early 2025, with Tesla's market share in Europe dropping to 1.2% in May from 2.1% last year, while rivals like SAIC Motor saw registrations rise 22.5%.
  • Industry leaders like ACEA urge building a supportive ecosystem with incentives and infrastructure to accelerate BEV adoption, highlighting what remains a significant challenge for Tesla and the European market.
