Tesla’s Europe Sales Drop 45% Amid 37% EV Market Surge

Tesla has experienced a significant drop in sales in Europe, with a 45% decline in the combined EU, EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland), and UK markets compared to the same month last year. The drop is even steeper within the European Union alone, where Tesla’s sales fell by 50.3%. This occurs at a time when regional sales of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) have increased by 37%, indicating that demand for electric vehicles is still strong, but Tesla is having trouble keeping up with the competition.
According to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), Tesla sold only 9,945 units in January 2025, a sharp decline from the 18,161 vehicles sold in January 2024. The most dramatic declines were observed in Germany, where sales dropped by 59.5% to just 1,277 units, and in France, where the decrease was 63%, bringing total sales down to 1,143 units. The situation becomes even more concerning when compared to Tesla’s competitors. China’s SAIC Motors, for instance, managed to sell more than twice as many units, delivering 22,994 vehicles in January.
Several factors may be contributing to Tesla’s underperformance. The increasingly negative press surrounding Elon Musk could be one reason. His controversial political statements, including support for Germany’s far-right AfD party and a jailed activist in the UK, have sparked significant criticism across Europe. This could be tarnishing Tesla’s brand image, leading to reduced consumer interest.
The anticipated Model Y refresh may also have an impact on Tesla’s sales. Many potential buyers may be delaying their purchases and opting to wait for the more recent model, as an updated version of Tesla’s best-selling vehicle is scheduled to be released in 2025.
Additionally, Tesla had to adjust its production lines to accommodate the refreshed Model Y, which may have caused a short-term supply disruption in January, resulting in fewer units available. Inventory shortages might also be playing a role in Tesla’s declining sales. According to reports, Tesla accelerated deliveries in December 2024 to meet goals for the year’s end, which may have depleted stock in some markets. Consequently, lower inventory levels in the beginning of 2025 may have had a negative impact on January sales figures. Despite Tesla’s struggles, the broader electric vehicle market in Europe continues to thrive. ACEA reports that 124,341 BEVs were sold in the EU, and 166,065 units were sold in the Europe+EFTA+UK region in January 2025.This growth has led to an increase in market share for BEVs, which now account for 16.7% of all vehicle sales in the region, up from 11.9% in January 2024.
Hybrids are still the most popular powertrain in Europe, despite the growing popularity of electric vehicles. Self-charging hybrid vehicles (HEVs) now hold a dominant 34.9% market share. Gasoline-powered vehicles follow with 29.2%, while BEVs have surpassed plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and diesel cars in market share. Diesel only holds 8.8 percent of the market today, while PHEV sales make up 7.6 percent. The combined market share of gasoline and diesel cars in the European Union has decreased significantly, from 48.7 percent in January 2024 to 39.4 percent in January 2025. Overall, new car registrations in the EU fell by 2.6% to 831,201 units in January, with major declines observed in key markets like France (-6.2%), Italy (-5.8%), and Germany (-2.8%).
The difficulties that Tesla is currently experiencing in Europe highlight the difficulties that the company faces in maintaining its edge in the face of growing competition from established automakers and new Chinese brands. To regain momentum in the rapidly expanding European electric vehicle market, the company will need to address inventory issues, brand perception, and shifting consumer preferences.

Tata Motors Targets 50% Market Share in India’s EV Sector

In India’s fast-growing EV space, Tata Motors isn’t just participating — it’s dominating. And now, they’re setting their sights even higher. As per a recent report from ET Auto, Tata Motors is aiming to capture 50% of the country’s EV market in the coming years.
It’s a bold goal. With fresh competition entering from every direction — from global automakers to Indian startups — is Tata biting off more than it can chew, or are they just getting started?
Let’s break down where things stand — and what it’ll take to actually pull it off.
Tata Is Leading — But Not Alone Anymore
Let’s start with the numbers. Today, Tata Motors commands over 70% of India’s passenger EV segment. The Nexon EV is easily the best-selling electric car in the country, and the Tiago EV has made affordable electric mobility more accessible than ever before.
But what’s clear is that this lead won’t last forever unless Tata steps up. Companies like Hyundai, Mahindra, MG, and even BYD are ramping up their presence, and they’re coming in strong.
Tata’s 50% target feels more like a strategic defense plan than a boast.
What’s Driving Tata’s Ambition?
Tata’s not just selling electric vehicles — it’s building an ecosystem. And that’s what gives them a real shot at hitting this ambitious target.
New Models in the Pipeline
We’ve already seen early teasers of upcoming EVs like the Curvv, Harrier EV, and the futuristic-looking Avinya. Each one is aimed at a different audience — from young professionals to premium car buyers.
A Charging Network That Actually Exists
Thanks to Tata Power, they’ve already set up over 1,000 public chargers. For buyers in cities, this takes away a big chunk of “range anxiety” and helps make EVs feel like a regular, usable choice.
Made-in-India Batteries
One of the biggest roadblocks for EVs in India is high battery costs. Tata’s push for local battery manufacturing could solve this, reducing costs, improving availability, and giving them an edge over rivals who still rely on imports.
Commercial + Government Buyers
Besides private customers, Tata is focusing on commercial fleet buyers and government programs. That’s smart — fleet sales often move in bulk and can push volume quickly.
The Challenges Are Real
No matter how strong Tata’s strategy looks, there are serious hurdles ahead.
- Charging networks still don’t reach Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities
- Battery components are globally volatile, and supply chain issues aren’t fully resolved
- Consumer education outside urban areas is still lacking
- And let’s be honest: many Indian buyers are still skeptical of electric mobility
Tata Motors isn’t playing the short game. Their 50% EV market share target is a signal to investors, buyers, and rivals that they intend to stay on top, not just today, but in the next decade.
Will they make it? That depends on how fast India adapts and how well Tata can keep up with expectations.
But if any Indian brand is ready to bet on electric, it’s Tata.

Chetak 3001: Bajaj’s Next-Gen Electric Scooter Could Be Your New Daily Ride

The Iconic Chetak Is Evolving—Here’s What We Know
Remember the Bajaj Chetak? If you grew up in India, chances are you’ve seen one buzzing around your neighborhood. Well, it’s back in the spotlight—this time with an electric twist. Bajaj is reportedly working on a new EV called the Chetak 3001, and if leaks are to be believed, it’s already being tested in Ladakh.
The company hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, but the buzz is real. It looks like Bajaj is gearing up to give its popular electric scooter lineup a fresh new boost, without overcomplicating things.
Chetak 3001 Rumored Specs: Practical and Built for the City
If the whispers are true, the Chetak 3001 is going to come with a 3.1 kW motor and a 3 kWh battery—a setup that should make it ideal for urban commuting. The top speed? Around 62 km/h, which is more than enough for your daily rides to work, the market, or college.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what we might get:
- 3.1 kW electric motor
- 3 kWh lithium-ion battery
- Top speed of ~62 km/h
- Estimated range close to 100 km
In short, this scooter seems built for practicality, not racing. Perfect if you’re tired of petrol prices and just want something reliable and easy to charge.
What’s New Compared to the Current Chetak?
The current-gen Chetak is already known for being a no-nonsense, dependable electric scooter. But the 3001 version might be a little sharper, a little smarter.
Think of it as a mid-cycle update: maybe better pickup, slightly more battery efficiency, and possibly some smarter tech (without going overboard). It’s not trying to beat Ather or Ola in flashy features—it’s about keeping things simple and functional, but better.
If you’re someone who liked the original Chetak but wanted a little more “oomph,” the 3001 could be your sweet spot.
Features That Could Make It Stand Out
Now, Bajaj hasn’t said much, but based on spy shots and industry trends, the 3001 might include:
- A refreshed digital dashboard
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Better weather protection
- A slight design tweak—maybe a new headlamp or side panel shape
- Possibly improved regenerative braking or ride modes
Nothing wild—but enough to make a difference in your everyday experience.
Launch Timeline: When Will the Chetak 3001 Arrive?
There’s no official date, but many believe Bajaj could drop a teaser towards end of 2024, with a full launch by early 2025. Given how fast the EV space is moving, they’re probably not going to wait too long.
The EV Scooter You Can Count On?
If you’re not looking for high-end tech and just want a solid, stylish, and easy-to-maintain electric scooter, keep your eye on the Chetak 3001. It’s shaping up to be a commuter’s friend, especially for people who appreciate Bajaj’s legacy of durable rides.
This scooter might not make headlines for speed, but it might just become the EV you see everywhere on Indian roads.
