- Volkswagen Group’s ongoing transition to electric vehicles is evidently accelerating this year, with global deliveries of its fully-electric vehicles up 46.7% in the first half of 2025, compared to the first half of 2024.
- Specifically, 465,500 all-electric vehicles were delivered in H1 of 2025, compared to 317,200 in H1 of 2024.
- This takes into account EV sales across all parts of the Volkswagen Group – whether that be Volkswagen Cars, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, MAN, Scania, and more.
EV sales continue to rise for Volkswagen Group
Of the 317,200 EVs delivered to customers in the first half of the year, well over half (184,100) of these can be attributed to the European market. In fact, in Europe, one in every five vehicles delivered by the group is now fully-electric. The Volkswagen car brand alone was recently seen to be the largest seller of EVs in Europe, and that’s before you consider all the other brands under Volkswagen Group’s umbrella. Take all of them into account, and the group accounts for around 28% of the entire European BEV market.
Of all Volkswagen Group EVs, the top three best-sellers for the first half of the year were the Volkswagen ID.4/5 (84,900 units), Volkswagen ID.3 (60,700 units), and the Audi Q4 e-tron (44,600 units). When it came to fully-electric HGVs and buses under the group, both MAN and Scania saw impressive year-on-year delivery rises of 243.5% and 102.8% respectively.
With new electric models from Volkswagen Group on the horizon, delivery figures of its EV portfolio are only set to get higher in the coming years. SEAT’s Martorell factory in Barcelona is set to start producing two affordable, compact electric cars from 2026, helping to push electric vehicles to the budget-conscious mainstream in Europe.
Marco Schubert, Member of Volkswagen Group’s Extended Executive Committee for Sales, commented:
“The Volkswagen Group continues to have strong momentum thanks to many newly launched models. This applies especially to all-electric vehicles, with global deliveries up by around 50 per cent in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year. This trend was particularly strong in Europe, with growth of around 90 per cent. One in five of the vehicles we delivered in Western Europe is now purely electric. The corresponding orders are also developing dynamically: they increased by more than 60 per cent. Across all drive types, they went up by around 20 per cent. We need to further strengthen this positive development by continuing our successful model offensive. Overall, we were able to slightly increase our global deliveries by the end of June despite challenging conditions. Gains in South America and Europe more than offset the expected declines in China and North America.”
