Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Tesla’s sales in the EU dropped 36.6% in August on a yearly basis, according to data released on Thursday by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).<\/p>\n

Billionaire Elon Musk’s US-based electric vehicle company sold 8,220 units in August in the EU, ACEA’s report showed, while the figure was at 12,966 in the same month of 2024.<\/p>\n

The market share of the company dropped to 1.2% in August from 2% in the same month of last year. In Europe, including the EU, the European Free Trade Association, and the UK, Tesla’s sales also fell 22.5% year-on-year to 14,831 units in the same period.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, battery electric car sales soared 30.2% in August to 120,797 units in the EU. On the other hand, the Chinese automakers increased their sales 121% year-on-year in August to 43,529 units, according to data from JATO Dynamics. Their market share also doubled to 5.5% compared to the same period of 2024.<\/p>\n

Also in August, the Chinese car brands outsold Audi and Renault in Europe. \u201cEuropean consumers are responding positively to the growing, competitive line-up from China\u2019s car brands,\u201d Felipe Munoz, Global Analyst at JATO Dynamics, said. \u201cIt appears that these brands have successfully tackled the perception and awareness issues they have experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla’s sales have been rapidly declining in Europe in recent months due to Musk’s controversial political stances, his intervention in European politics, and the rapid competition from Chinese brands.<\/p>\n
