Best sellers

The best-selling EVs in December 2025

By brand

December 2025 by brand

Registrations summed by brand from the 76 models in DLT’s figures by model that evchu matched to its catalogue, 14,053 EVs in all. That is 99.0% of the 14,194 EVs in DLT’s monthly total for December 2025.

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

Movers

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

From DLT’s figures by model for both months, compared across the 68 models with a count in both. 11 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.
