By brand

January 2026 by brand

Registrations summed by brand from the 71 models in DLT’s figures by model that evchu matched to its catalogue, 40,201 EVs in all. That is 99.3% of the 40,465 EVs in DLT’s monthly total for January 2026.

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

Movers

The biggest moves from December 2025 to January 2026, 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.
