Volkswagen ID.4.
Last year, Volkswagen delivered more electric vehicles worldwide than ever before, handing over more than 212,000 electrified cars in total (a 158% increase from 2019). This figure also includes nearly 134,000 battery electric vehicles (a 197% increase from 2019).
Volkswagen launched nine new electric and plug-in hybrid models in 2020. This brought the share of battery electric and hybrid vehicles in Europe up to 12.4% of the brand’s total deliveries – after 2.3% in 2019.
The most popular model was the Volkswagen ID.3 with 56,500 units sold, followed by the e-Golf, with around 41,300 units. The Passat GTE chalked up around 24,000 units.
The ID.3 was also the most frequently delivered battery electric vehicle in Finland, Slovenia and Norway in December. In Sweden, the ID.3 was actually the top-selling car in December 2020 in absolute numbers – regardless of the type of drive.
In the Netherlands and Germany, Volkswagen managed to leap to the number one spot in all-electric vehicles in 2020. The brand had a market share of 23.8% in Germany in the battery electric vehicle market and 23% in the Netherlands.
A breakthrough of electric mobility was also evident in the German fleet market, where the share of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles ordered increased to around 22%, up from around 2% in 2018 and some 5% in 2019.
Volkswagen’s second all-electric model, the ID.4, is being successively launched.
