 Tesla’s Germany sales drop by half in April as electric vehicle market grows

Investing.com -- Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) saw a significant drop in its sales volume in Germany in April, according to data released by the German road traffic agency, KBA.

The agency reported that Tesla sold 885 cars in the country in April, marking a 45.9% decrease from the same month the previous year.

In addition, the total number of Tesla vehicles sold in Germany between January and April 2025 dropped by 60.4% to 5,820 units, compared with the same period in the previous year.

This decline in sales comes despite the overall growth in the electric vehicle market in the country.

According to the KBA, the total number of newly registered electric vehicles increased by 53.5% in April compared with the same month last year.

National data released last week showed that sales of Tesla electric vehicles fell to multi-year lows in several key European markets last month.

Meanwhile, Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD saw a significant increase in its sales volume in Germany in April.

According to the KBA, BYD’s sales volume jumped more than eightfold to 1,566 units in April and rose almost fivefold to 2,791 units in total since the beginning of the year.

Separately, Tesla’s new vehicle registrations in the U.K. fell 62% year-on-year in April, marking their weakest performance in over two years, according to data from New AutoMotive on Tuesday.
