Bavaria overtakes NRW: Electric cars are booming despite the decline in new registrations
Bayern overtaken North Rhine-Westphalia in the new registrations of pure electric cars (BEVS) in 2023. According to Antenne were approved in Bavaria 81,054 BEVS, 44 more than in NRW. This is a significant change, it is considered that North Rhine-Westphalia was at the top between 2020 and 2023. Baden-Württemberg occupies third place in Germany with 66,479 BEVS.
Nationwide, however, the new registrations of electric cars declined last year. The number fell by over 27 percent, of which Bayern is below the average trend with a decline of 23 percent. This decline reflects that the attractiveness of electric vehicles continues to have challenges despite increasing distribution, especially in the form of funding measures.changes in new registrations
A remarkable trend is the increase in new registrations to manufacturers, which in 2024 was around 10 percent compared to almost 6 percent in 2023. In contrast, the proportion of new registrations for private individuals fell from 43 percent to only 36 percent. Experts suspect that the decline among private individuals is related to the loss of the state premium for private buyers.
according to the Motorfahrt-Bundesamt were granted in the period from January to September 2024 a total of 965.435 new cars. Which is 45.6 percent of the total new registration volume of 2,116,074 passenger cars. This shows that alternative drives are increasingly gaining popularity, even if the proportion of electric cars decreased by 19.9 percent compared to the same period last year.
electric cars in change
The total number of newly approved electric cars (BEVS, plug-in hybrid, fuel cells) was 409.380, of which 276,390 pure electric cars (BEVS) were. The decline in BEV registrations by 28.6 percent compared to the first three quarters of 2023 is alarming. Despite this decline, however, the focus on electromobility remains evident, especially due to the high density of automotive manufacturers in Bavaria such as BMW and Audi as well as the relatively high average income of the population who support the interest in electric vehicles.
Overall, the development of the new registrations of electric cars in Germany shows that despite the challenges, the potential of electromobility has not yet been exhausted. The market is expected to continue to adapt in the coming years to offer both private individuals and manufacturers the best conditions.
