2024 will certainly not be a year to remember in the history of the electric car. For good reason, sales have come to a real halt in recent months, with the first drop in the number of registrations in its history. But fortunately, this bad step would be over. Several studies assure that 2025 will be flourishing.
In its latest report on the subject, the consulting firm C-Ways explains that sales of electric cars should see strong growth in France in 2025. In fact, he expects a 32% increase in sales among individuals, thus exceeding 30% market share. For comparison, it was only 22% in 2024.
The arrival of French manufacturers will change the situation
According to C-Way, 30% of registrations made in 2025 will be electric cars. Crazy growth compared to 2024 which could be explained in several ways, starting with the arrival of new manufacturers on the electric car market.
This is particularly the case for Renault and its new version of the R5, 100% electric. With this iconic model for millions of French people, the diamond brand should seduce the hearts of many individuals. Citroën, for its part, could achieve good figures in 2025, particularly with its ë-C3.
Aid disappears one by one
At the same time, government aid for the ecological transition is disappearing one after the other. The ecological bonus will still be there in 2025 but it will only represent 2000 euros (or 4000 euros for low-income households).
The conversion bonus will bid us farewell. Despite the departure of this financial assistance, the C-Way firm assures that “the transition is underway” and that the effects of this assistance on sales should not be felt in the coming months.
The drop in the ecological bonus in 2024 had however been pointed out by many experts as the main reason for the slowdown in sales of electric cars. It is therefore difficult to imagine that a reduction in aid will not have an impact on the market the following year.
