EVs Take 34.5% Share In France — Renault & Tesla Dominate
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
France's Q2 2026 new vehicle sales show battery electric vehicles (BEVs) at 28.3% market share (up from 17.1% YoY), with BEV volume surging 75% year-over-year to 120,479 units, while traditional petrol-only vehicles declined to 17.9% share as emissions rules tighten.
Growth partly reflects improvements in 2026 incentives and elevated fuel prices; sustained adoption depends on continued policy support and fuel costs.
