Global Electric Vehicle Market Booms in June 2025

The electric vehicle (EV) market saw a significant surge in June 2025, with sales of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models reaching new heights.

In the race for the top spot, the Tesla Model Y remained the best-selling BEV worldwide, accounting for 7.7% of overall volumes. The model recorded 133,629 sales, marking a year-on-year increase of 14%. China was the biggest market for the Tesla Model Y, with 36.6% of all its sales taking place there.

The Tesla Model 3 came in second place, with 227,210 units delivered and a 3.8% market share. However, the model saw a 18.8% decrease in sales to 52,844 units in June 2025.

The BYD Dolphin, a Chinese brand, saw a 96.7% increase in sales to 25,895 units in June 2025, representing 2.2% of all BEV sales. This strong performance catapulted the BYD Dolphin to fourth place in global BEV sales. The BYD Seagull (Dolphin Surf) dropped to fourth place, with 200,079 sales and a 3.3% market share.

Four BYD models made it into the year-to-date top 10, a first for the carmaker this year. The BYD Yuan Plus (Atto 3) finished seventh, with 126,184 sales and a 2.1% market share. The BYD Yuan Up saw a 94.4% increase in sales to 16,332 units, taking a 1.4% share. The BYD Sealion 7 saw a 207.5% increase in sales to 15,970 units, representing 1.3% of the market.

The Geely Geome Xingyuan claimed third place in global BEV sales, with 205,091 sales and a 3.4% market share. The Xiaomi SU7 recorded 23,252 deliveries in June 2025, increasing its market share to 1.9%. The Wuling Mini saw an increase of 156.3% in sales to 26,113 units, tightening its grip on the global market to 2.2%.

In China, plug-in vehicle sales accounted for 57.8% of all BEV sales and 70.7% of PHEV deliveries. This makes China the undisputed leader in the global EV market.

The electric vehicle market is expanding globally, with China remaining the largest EV market, Europe focusing on battery technology leadership, and North America growing through technological advances and major manufacturers like Tesla and GM driving adoption. Country-specific developments show Germany leading Europe with over 572,000 new EV registrations in 2024 but facing a recent slowdown in market dynamics in early 2025. China and the USA are the top global markets by volume, with other European countries like the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Sweden also ranking in the top ten worldwide.

Overall, BEVs accounted for 18.4% of new vehicle registrations and plug-in hybrids 10.3% in July 2025, reflecting a strong shift towards electrification despite political and economic challenges such as inflation and subsidy phase-outs. The rapid market growth is especially evident in China, Europe, and North America.
