00:00Guys, fantastic news. If you're a fan of electric cars, and if you're watching this channel,
00:04you probably are. Although I do have some haters out there that like to, I don't know, sometimes
00:09stalk me a little bit. Europe EV sales in January this year hit a record 19.3%. That's purely
00:18electric cars. One in five cars sold in Europe, all across Europe, were fully electric. But
00:24in some places, the rise of EV sales was staggering. Get a hold of these numbers, right?
00:30Across the EU, EFTA and UK, so this is basically all of Europe as we know it, 190,000 electric
00:38cars
00:38were registered in January 2026. That is up from 165,000 a year ago, a 14% increase.
00:47EV market share in the EU hit 19.3%, up from 14.9% in January 2025. However, in France,
00:58EV sales rose
00:59by 52%. In Germany, 24% increase, and Denmark, 52.7%. So the overall car market went down, EV sales
01:12went
01:13up. That's kind of why the numbers don't look that impressive, right? I said before, 165,000 were sold
01:18in January last year. This January is 189,000. Part of the reason is because less cars in general
01:24were sold across the entire car market. But those numbers from Germany and France and Denmark were
01:32quite remarkable. Now, Norway, their EV sales did not increase at all. Extremely disappointing from
01:39Norway. Just joking. When you're already at 99%, where can you go from there, right?
01:44The growth looks even more impressive if you... Well, okay. Tesla, their EV registrations across the
01:52EU, EFTA and the UK were actually down a bit. So they affected the numbers. If you exclude Tesla from
02:00the numbers, EV sales actually rose by 16%, not 13.8%. One winner, though, in the UK and Europe and
02:09Northern Europe, places outside the European Union, was BYD. BYD registered 18,000 vehicles in January
02:162026, surging 165% year over year. So great increase for BYD. But the only thing I'd say is that
02:24a lot of
02:24those cars were plug-in hybrids because BYD doesn't pay tariffs on plug-in hybrids. So they've really
02:31focused more on those vehicles. However, BYD now holds a 2% market share across all of Europe,
02:37compared to Tesla's 0.8%. Actually, BYD's is 1.9%, Tesla's is 0.8%. So while Tesla sales are going
02:45down in Europe, not enormously, but they definitely are contracting, the broader European car market is
02:50shifting rapidly toward electrification. Petrol registrations, as in registrations of gasoline-powered
02:56cars in the EU, fell by 28% year over year. France down 49%. Germany down 30%. Diesel fell 22
03:05.3%.
03:06So diesel and gasoline, purely diesel and gasoline-powered cars are going to be extinct pretty
03:12soon. Plug-in hybrids increased their sales by 32.2%. Now, unfortunately, Europe's, their rule
03:20are basically pushing more plug-in hybrids into the market, which is what we don't want.
03:25All the real-world data shows they're not what we want. Guys, there's a report last week saying that
03:31plug-in hybrids actually pollute three times more than what they say and use way more fuel than what
03:38they say. So I think Europe's decision to enable China to bring in plug-in hybrids and not EVs was
03:48bizarre. Because you want EVs on the roads, not plug-in hybrids. Anyway, plug-in hybrids increased by
03:5532.2%, hitting 99,654. Italy was up 134%, Spain up 67%. The most popular power choice though in Europe
04:05is hybrids with 38.6% market share. So hybrids have 38.6% market share, plug-in hybrids around
04:1210%,
04:13and fully electric cars, nearly 20%. So guys, overall, I think this is quite good news.
04:21The good news is they're selling more electric cars in Europe. Now imagine if, or when, we see more
04:28Chinese automakers setting up in Europe or doing what some of them are doing, which is contract
04:33manufacturing in Europe, where they basically assemble the cars in Europe in order to avoid
04:36these big tariffs. Imagine when that's happening more. I think we're going to see by 2030, my estimate
04:42for EV market share in Europe is 75% in 2030. That's only four years away, but I actually think
04:50it's going to happen. I know we're going to go from 20 to 75. That's a big jump. There's a
04:55few reasons why
04:56it's extremely likely that will happen. One of those is the rules on emissions. Emissions rules are going
05:03to be extremely punitive by 2030. And the other reason is because of the cost of electric cars.
05:11Now, EVs in Europe are still much more expensive than internal combustion cars. But as Volvo CEO said,
05:18by 2030, EVs will actually be cheaper, even in Europe.
05:23Thanks for watching.

06:46electricity at all. And that's including charging my two electric cars and also running my home power,
06:52my home sauna, nothing, not paying anything at all. And I think a lot of people are getting misled.
