Global Electric Car Sales in 2020
- In 2020, the global market for battery electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles shows an increase of 41.4% compared to 2019, to 3,124,793 units (including 2,141,311 BEVs and 983,482 PHEVs) against 2,209,831 in 2019 and 2,018,247 in 2018. This strong sales increase was achieved while the world automotive market fell by nearly 14% in 2020. The market share of these vehicles therefore reached 4,1% of global sales in 2020 (2.8% for BEVs and 1.3% for PHEVs) against 2.5% in 2019 and 2.2% in 2018.
- 85% of BEV and PHEV sales are made in Europe (1,364,813 units) and China (1,271,958 units). The United States (350,000 units) and more over Japan (30,000 units) continue to have little demand for electric vehicles. But it is possible that the new American administration will push local carmakers to produce more electric vehicles following the return of USA in the Paris Climate Agreement.
- Tesla dominates the global electric car market in 2020, with 499,535 sales (16% of the total BEV + PHEV and 23% of the total BEV), ahead of the Volkswagen groups (421,591 units including 227,394 BEVs), SAIC (272,210 units including 243,201 BEV), Renault-Nissan (226,975 units including 172,673 BEV) and BMW (195,979 units including 36,720 BEV).
- By model, the Tesla Model 3 consolidates its first place in 2020, with 365,240 sales (or 17% of the total BEV), ahead of the SAIC Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV (127,651 units), Renault Zoé (100,431 units) and Tesla Model Y (79,734 units).

2020 global sale of light vehicles by automotive groups
- The global automotive market for light vehicles (passenger and utility) fell by nearly 14% in 2020, due to the consequences of the coronavirus crisis. In this context, the Toyota group regained the world’s leading position in terms of volume from the Volkswagen group, which lost 1.6 million sales last year against 1.2 million for the Japanese. The German carmaker suffered from the fall of the European market more than any other carmaker, consequence of its dominant position in this market (25% market share in a region which lost 4 million sales in 2020).
- The Renault-Nissan group, which keeps its third place, lost more sales than Volkswagen (2.4 million vehicles), in particular due to large-volume models at the end of their life cycle.
- The GM group loses 900,000 sales in 2020 but narrowly keeps its fourth place ahead of the Hyundai-Kia group, fifth, which loses almost as many sales (850,000 units). The Honda group, in sixth position, lost only 800,000 sales in 2020 and thus stood out from the Ford group, seventh, which for its part lost 900,000 sales, in particular by removing its sedans from its North America production program.
- The FCA group, which is now behind the Ford group in eighth place, loses 850,000 sales, doing better than its new partner PSA, ninth, which loses 1 million sales in 2020. Suzuki, tenth, loses 550,000 sales. Next came the Premium carmakers BMW and Daimler, which lost few sales (respectively 200,000 and 250,000 units). Behind, the Chinese Geely and Changan are the only ones to increase their sales in 2020 among the top 15 world carmakers.
