The VW Group, the largest car manufacturer in Europe and the second largest in the world, has sold four million 100% electric cars since 2013, the year it began its investment in this type of propulsion, with the e-up! In 2025, the German giant ranked in the Top 5 worldwide among manufacturers that sold the most electric cars, and it was indeed the first in this regard in the Old Continent, with about 27% market share.
The announcement of this milestone comes shortly after the VW brand announced the sale of two million electric cars. The German consortium accelerated the pace of the energy transition in 2019, with the MEB platform, and to date, it has sold nearly three million cars based on this shared platform with Ford (which is at the core of the current Explorer and Capri models, which the oval brand produces in Cologne, Germany).
In 2026, the VW Group plans to introduce around a dozen electric vehicles, including a family of city cars (VW ID.Polo and ID.Cross, Cupra Raval, and Skoda Epiq). And, despite producing 100% electric cars in Brazil, China, the USA, and Europe, 77% of the four million already sold were actually manufactured in the Old Continent, where it has eleven production plants capable of producing them – a network that will soon expand to include Pamplona and Martorell in Spain, and the Bentley factory in Crewe, England.
VW leads among the generalist brands of the group, with two million electric vehicles sold, ahead of Skoda (480,000), Seat/Cupra (230,000), and VW Commercial Vehicles (140,000). The premium brands accounted for about 22% of the sales volume, with Audi at the top of the list, with 870,000 cars. In the luxury segment, Porsche is first, with 250,000. Finally, the heavy-duty division's share is around 0.3%, with 11,000. By model, VW ID.4/ID.5 leads sales, with over 900,000 units, followed by the VW ID.3 (628,000), Audi Q4 e-tron (387,000), and Skoda Enyaq (352,000).
