Global context (not our own ranking, cited for orientation): according to Autovista24 (based on EV Volumes data), the Tesla Model Y was the world's best-selling BEV in full-year 2025 with 1.086 million units, followed by the Tesla Model 3 (500,000) and the Geely Galaxy Xingyuan (474,000).

My take
Germany is the home market of the German manufacturers, and the market where they have to prove themselves against Chinese competition.

Methodology

New-registration figures from Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) for full-year 2025 by model series, compiled here via AUTO BILD (2026-01-13). KBA reports VW ID.4 and ID.5 as one combined model series (see the model row's note). Deliberately Germany-only, no multi-country Europe aggregate, and no all-powertrain ranking.

No investment advice. Figures without guarantee.
