Summary
The Tesla Model Y, market leader
In 2024, the Tesla Model Y continues to dominate the electric car market in France with more than 28,000 registrations. This dominance occurs in a context of rapidly growing demand for electric cars, even though the market is experiencing some turbulence.
French manufacturers in a good position
However, French manufacturers are not being left out. The Peugeot e-208 holds a solid second place with 23,602 units sold, followed by the Renault Mégane E-Tech with 16,800 units. The Fiat 500 electric, although Italian, is performing well in the French market with nearly 14,700 registrations. The Tesla Model 3 encountered slightly more difficulties with limited production internationally.
New trends and perspectives
The launch of the Renault 5 E-Tech this fall has been an immediate success, becoming the second best-selling electric car in December, just behind the Model Y. The Scénic E-Tech and the new Citroën ë-C3 are also beginning to register significant sales. The market is preparing to welcome new contenders in the coming months, which could shake up the current ranking.
