Germany E-SUV Market Growth

Between January and August 2024, nearly 51% of all new battery electric vehicles purchased in Germany were Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), as per the Federal Motor Transport Authority. This highlights the soaring appeal for electric SUVs among German consumers, due to their rugged construction, higher ground clearance, and the provision of an elevated driving position, which reduces the risk of road accidents. While merely 26% of all new vehicle registrations were small and compact cars during this period, over 50% of them were SUVs, which accounted for nearly 40% of all new EV registrations in the country. Over the forecast period, innovative models and product launches are expected to drive the market.

By 2030, Germany aims to increase the EV adoption rates to 15 million units by expanding its network of EV charging infrastructure (currently at over 100,000 units) and making EV production substantially cost-effective for automotive manufacturers. Germany is expected to produce 20%-25% of Europe’s new EVs, while it its currently the continent’s leading automotive producer, followed by Spain (256,000) and France (225,000). Increasing investments in battery technology development as well as strengthening global supply chains is expected to bolster the market growth in the coming years.
