Volkswagen Group is on a roll when it comes to its electric vehicle sales in 2025. In a monthly sales report, one of the company’s key highlights was its soaring BEV sales.

Volkswagen Group — which includes Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Skoda, Seat, and other brands — boasted 717,500 BEV deliveries so far by the end of September. That’s up 42% from 506,600 deliveries in the same period in 2024.

“Strong increase in BEV deliveries in Europe (+78 percent) and the USA (+85 percent), decline in China (-43 percent) as planned ahead of the launch of new electric models; Volkswagen Group is the clear BEV market leader in Europe (market share of around 27 percent); global BEV share after three quarters rises significantly from 8 to 11 percent compared to the previous year, climbing from 12 to 20 percent in Western Europe.”

Additionally, another 299,000 plugin hybrids (PHEV) were sold in the 9 months. That’s up 55% from 2024’s 193,000 deliveries in January–September. “Demand for vehicles with modern second-generation plug-in hybrid drives (PHEVs) and pure electric ranges of up to 143 km⁰¹ is increasing.”

Progress. Kudos to Volkswagen for continuing to grow its EV sales, and by significant margins in 2025.
