electric cars continue to withdraw: New registrations in June in the minus

In June 2024, a total of 297,329 new cars were approved according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). This corresponds to an increase of 6.1 % compared to the previous year. In the first six months, the increase was 5.4 %.

The negative trend for purely battery -operated electric cars (BEV) continued in June. The number of new registrations fell by 18.1 %. From January to June, the decline was even 16.4 % compared to the same period last year. The plug-in hybrids also had a slight decrease of 3.4 % in June, while they were added by 12.5 % over the course of the year. In contrast, more diesel cars (plus 12.4 %) and petrol engine (plus 12.1 %) were approved in June. In the first six months, the new registrations of both drive types also rose (diesel plus 8.9 %, petrol engine plus 7.4 %).

ZDK Vice President Thomas Peckruhn, spokesman for the factory trade in Germany, explains: “The growth in new car registrations are still driven by petrol engines and diesel vehicles. The uncertainty and skepticism with regard to e-mobility are therefore a majority of conventional vehicles. will be available next year.

The market for used cars easily recovered in June. With around 528,000 vehicle transmissions, the number was 1.5 % below the previous year's value. In the first half of the year, however, around 3.265 million used car changed hands, which corresponds to an increase of 8.6 % compared to the same period last year.

The development of the new registrations of electric cars remains declining, while conventional internal combustion engines are still in demand. The uncertainty of consumers and the lack of inexpensive electric vehicles on the market are still obstacles to the breakthrough of e-mobility. It remains to be seen whether the Situation improves in the coming year.
