Gruenheide (Tesla) and Zwickau (VW) are the only BEV factories to have exceeded 200,000 vehicles in 2024
04 June 2025

- While the market for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Europe (30 countries) declined slightly (-1.3%) in 2024 compared to 2023, with a volume of 1,993,102 sales compared to 2,019,401 the previous year, the production volume of this type of car in Europe (30 countries) declined more sharply (-7.0%) in 2024 compared to 2023, to 1.73 million units, according to Inovev. The decline in BEV sales in 2024 therefore affected models produced in Europe more than models produced outside Europe.

- Inovev has listed the European plants producing BEVs and estimated the production volume of these BEVs in 2024.

- Tesla's Gruenheide plant produced the highest number BEVs in Europe last year, with 216,409 units, according to Inovev. This will likely no longer be the case in 2025, as Tesla sales are currently plummeting in Europe (-37% in the first quarter) and all of the brand's models are affected.

- The second largest BEV plant in Europe in 2024 is VW Zwickau (203,242 units), followed by BMW Dingolfing (176,822 units) and VW Emden (108,423 units). German plants are therefore at the forefront.

- The leading French plant is fifth, Renault Douai (89,921 units), followed by the leading Czech plant, Skoda Mlada Boleslav (82,538 units). These six factories accounted for 50% of BEV production in Europe.

- It should be noted that the battery electric vehicle market grew significantly in Europe (+27.9%) in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, to 573,500 units compared to 448,228 a year earlier, which will boost BEV production in Europe during this period because European models produced in Europe seem to be the first beneficiaries of this growth.

Li Auto is the leader of REEVs in China in Q1-2025
20 May 2025

- A REEV, or Range Extender Electric Vehicle, is a type of hybrid that primarily drives using an electric motor and includes a small internal combustion engine (ICE) to recharge the battery when it is low. Unlike traditional hybrids, the ICE in REEVs does not directly power the wheels but acts solely as a generator, extending the electric driving range. REEVs can also plugged in directly to chargers in addition.

- China's REEV market has seen mixed growth in 2025. Total REEVs production reached 224,359 units, a modest increase from 211,111 units in the same period in 2024 — about +6.3% year-over-year growth. While some carmakers experienced significant growth, others saw declining volumes, indicating a competitive and transitional phase in the segment as consumer preferences and government policies continue evolving.

- Lixiang Automotive (or Li Auto) remains the dominant REEV producer with 103,096 units YTD, up 7.8% from last year. It holds a market share of approximately 45.9%. Seres Motor follows with 44,982 units, but saw a significant decline of -45.4%. Chang’an Auto and Leapmotor showed healthy double-digit growth, while Chery Auto entered with modest volumes (1,842 units YTD). This distribution highlights Lixiang's stronghold but also reflects rising competition and potential future realignments in market leadership.

- The Lixiang L6, L7, L8, and L9 series dominate the top of the chart: Lixiang L6 leads with 51,580 units YTD. Lixiang L7 and L9 show stable performance, with L7 down to 24,189 units (from 38,785, -37.6%), while L9 fell to 14,061 units (-54.9%). Seres AITO M9 and M7 also rank among top models, with M9 at 22,466 units and M7 at 13,333 units, though both showed a decline.
