Registrations summed by brand from the 58 models in DLT’s figures by model that evchu matched to its catalogue, 12,171 EVs in all. That is 98.7% of the 12,334 EVs in DLT’s monthly total for January 2025.

Each share is of these models only, not of the whole market.

Movers

The biggest moves from December 2024 to January 2025, among models in both months

From DLT’s figures by model for both months, compared across the 52 models with a count in both. 8 models in only one month are left out: missing from a table is not the same as none registered.

Percentages are given where the earlier month had at least 100.
