00:00In France last month, 38% of every new car sold was fully electric.
00:05Not a hybrid, not a plug-in, a pure battery electric vehicle.
00:10And that is an all-time record for the country.
00:13And it's the third month in a row France has set a new high,
00:18after 30% in May and 35% in June, now 38%.
00:24What's next? Probably 40% in September.
00:26To put this in perspective, a year ago EVs were at 17.7% year-to-date.
00:34Now they're at 30% for 2026 so far.
00:38And the August number alone more than doubled year-on-year to over 36,000 cars.
00:46Here's the part that matters for the rest of the market.
00:48The overall French car market actually grew by 7.4% in August.
00:52And electric cars did all of that lifting on their own.
00:58Petrol sales collapsed by 40% to just 11% market share, down from 31.5% two years ago.
01:06Diesel is basically dead in France at 1.9%.
01:12Imagine being someone owning a diesel-powered vehicle.
01:16How likely is it, do you think, in 5 to 10 years that there'll be many gas stations
01:20that will have diesel available when no one's buying the cars today?
01:25And this is the one people don't expect.
01:28Conventional hybrids fell by 9%.
01:32Isn't that what Toyota said everyone was going to buy, and Nissan as well?
01:35In a market where the electric share jumps this fast, hybrids don't get a soft landing.
01:41They just get skipped altogether.
01:43So hybrids being a bridge technology, what we're seeing in China, that's not true.
01:47Hybrid sales are falling there as well.
01:49Why now?
01:51Well, two things.
01:52France relaunched its social leasing scheme in mid-July.
01:56This lets lower-income households lease a new electric car for a capped monthly payment.
02:02And French outlets are also pointing to rising fuel prices, pushing people to make the switch.
02:09Between them, that's turned electric into the default choice rather than the premium one.
02:15Then there is the bestseller.
02:17The Tesla Model Y was the number one car in France in August, all powertrains included,
02:23with 4,622 registrations, up almost five-fold year-on-year.
02:31Matt Gasnia at Best Selling Cars blog says that's the first time a non-French car
02:37has ever topped the French monthly chart, if you count the Daisha Sandero as half French.
02:44Tesla, as a brand, jumped to seventh overall.
02:49And it's not just Tesla, though.
02:51The Renault 5 is seventh.
02:52The Renault Scenic E-Tec is tenth.
02:54The Skoda Elrock and the Volkswagen ID.4 both hit their best-ever rankings.
02:58The Kia EV2 is already Kia's best-selling car in France.
03:02And Chinese newcomer, Jayku, cracked the top 20 brands.
03:07So when a market goes from 17% to 38% in about a year, that's not a trend.
03:16That's a tipping point.
03:17And France has just crossed it for good.
03:22Thanks for watching.
