The auto market saw plugin EVs at 24.3% share in France in April 2024, growing from 21.1% year on year. Full electric volume was up by a strong 45% YoY, while plugin hybrid volume was flat. Overall auto volume wasunits, up 11% YoY, though remaining below 2017–2019 seasonal norms . The Peugeot e-208 was once again the best selling full electric vehicle.
Year to date, BEVs have grown volume by 28% compared to the same period last year. This is in part due to the subsidised social leasing scheme for BEVs, which saw double the volume expected . The push for new leasing contracts was closed off around mid February, but deliveries of those leased vehicles are still playing out, and have boosted the April figures.
The Tesla Model 3 fell 4 spots to 11th, the Volvo EX30 fell 10 spots to 18th, and the MG4 fell 10 spots to 19th. Built outside Europe, April was the first month that these popular models have been excluded from the eco-bonus purchase incentive — thus the fall in sales and ranking. The volume of each was roughly a third of what it was in March.
This is a big climb for the Peugeot, from just 6th place in the prior period . Another relatively strong climb has come from the refreshed Citroen e-C4, which has taken 10th, from just outside the top 20 previously.
