While the overall auto market fell off a cliff in January , the French plugin passenger car market hit the accelerator, all thanks to pure electrics jumping 58%, to 10,217 registrations. Plugin hybrids dropped 3% YoY, to 7,934 units, allowing pure electrics to have 56% of plugin sales. So, it seems the French market is once again preferring BEVs over plugin hybrids.
This also means that the 2022 plugin vehicle share started at 18% , which is significantly above the 12% share of 12 months ago . This all points to the idea we will see the French market go north of the 25% mark this year, and maybe even reach 30% by the end of this year. We’ll see! Will the new Peugeot 308 PHEV have a word to say when it comes to the top positions? I don’t think so. It might steal the “Best Selling PHEV” title from its 3008 PHEV sibling, but with the market now returning to its BEV-friendly origins, I think the “Best Seller” title will be fought out between the Tesla Model 3, Renault Zoe, and Dacia Spring.
Outside the top 20, this time there isn’t much to talk about, with the exception being the record performance of the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV. In 3rd place, and far from the two French arch rivals, we have Dacia, with 8.2%, thanks to the success of its Spring EV, followed by the Korean siblings Kia and Hyundai .
