BEV sales still going strong which is what matters.

The European passenger car market shrunk again in May, as new registrations decreased 13% year-over-year and 34% compared to May 2019. A small bit of positive news is that at least the rate of decline is lower than in March and April (respectively 19% and 21%).

The plug-in segment, fortunately, noted a small increase, but nothing really significant.

According to EV Volumes' data, shared by Jose Pontes, roughly 183,900 new passenger plug-in cars were registered in Europe last month, which is 3% more than a year ago. That's about 19% of the total market.

Registrations of new all-electric cars increased in May by 20% year-over-year, which is enough for 11% of the market. On the other hand, plug-in hybrids are down another month, this time by 12% year-over-year.

New plug-in car registrations:

• BEVs: about *106,500 (up 20% year-over-year) and 11% share
• PHEVs: about *77,500 (down 12% year-over-year) and 8% share
• Total: 183,914 (up 3% year-over-year) and 19% share
