The Volkswagen Group, which registered sales of 4.41 million vehicles worldwide in the first six months of CY2025, which marks 1.3% YoY growth (H1 CY2024: 4.35 million vehicles), has seen strong demand for its all-electric vehicles.
As per the company’s H1 CY025 media release, a total of 465,500 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were delivered by the end of June, up 47% on the previous half year (January-June 2024: 317,200 vehicles). Global BEV share in the first half of the year has increased significantly year-on-year from
7 to 11%, following the strong growth in Europe (+89%) and the USA (+24%), declining development in China (-34%). This makes the Volkswagen Group the clear BEV market leader in Europe with a market share of around 28 percent.
Model-wise, the Volkswagen ID.4/ID.5 with 84,900 units topped the BEV chart for the Group and accounted for an 18% share of total BEV sales in the first half of this year. Their sibling, the ID.3 with 60,700 was next with a 13% share and ID.7 with 38,700 units was ranked fourth with an 8% share (see best-selling BEV stats below).

"The Volkswagen Group continues to have strong momentum thanks to many newly launched models. This applies especially to all-electric vehicles, with global deliveries up by around 50 percent in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year. This trend was particularly strong in Europe, with growth of around 90 percent. One in five of the vehicles we delivered in Western Europe is now purely electric. The corresponding orders are also developing dynamically: they increased by more than 60 per cent. Across all drive types, they went up by around 20 percent. We need to further strengthen this positive development by continuing our successful model offensive. Overall, we were able to slightly increase our global deliveries by the end of June despite challenging conditions. Gains in South America and Europe more than offset the expected declines in China and North America,” said Marco Schubert, Member of the Group’s Extended Executive Committee for Sales.
