Tesla Sales Performance in July
Tesla sold 702 vehicles in Spain in July 2025—a 27% rise compared to the same month in 2024. Although a solid performance, it was modest considering the broader EV market booming around it. Year‑to‑date, Tesla’s growth in Spain is much slower at just 1.1% year-on‑year through July
EV Market Explodes: “Others Double”
The standout story is the 155% jump in total electrified vehicle sales in July—21,002 units were registered, compared to just around 8,000 mid‑2024 totals.
- Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) grew 127.1% to 8,691 units in July alone.
- Plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs) soared 178.8%, selling 12,311 units that month.
For year-to-date through July, the market registered 123,315 electrified vehicles, a 93% increase over the prior year and surpassing all of 2024’s total (≈116,000).
This set a new electrified market share of around 17.4% by July—up sharply from prior years.
Tesla Sales: Why the Surge? Key Drivers
Rich Government Incentives
Spain’s Moves III plan, regional bonuses, income tax reliefs, and energy-company discounts are fueling demand—though some regions report the program is nearing exhaustion and need funding extension.
Consumer Demand Shifting
Consumers increasingly prefer cleaner, tech-forward vehicles. The combination of savings, environmental awareness, and evolving infrastructure is accelerating adoption.
Charging Infrastructure Expanding
Utility companies such as Iberdrola and startups like Zunder are building thousands of high‑power chargers across Spain—even along motorways—helping ease range anxiety.
Tesla vs. The Competition
While Tesla grew, rival brands—particularly Chinese automakers like BYD—demonstrated explosive momentum. In July alone, BYD sold 2,158 cars in Spain, nearly eight times its volume from July 2024. That shows Tesla’s growth, while healthy, pales next to the overall electrified market surge and the success of cost-competitive alternatives.
Broader Context & Environmental Impact
Spain’s total vehicle market is also growing—over 708,000 new cars registered in 2025 so far, with full-year projections reaching 1.1 million. As EV adoption rises, the average CO₂ emissions of new cars dropped to 102.8 g/km in July, about 13.8% lower than the previous year. This aligns with Spain’s longer‑term goals: carbon neutrality by 2050, mandatory zero‑emission commercial vehicles by 2040, and a strong push toward electrifying transport.
Conclusion
Spain’s EV boom in July 2025 is real—and remarkable. While Tesla’s sales climbed 27%, the broader market exploded with a 155% surge—especially from BEVs and PHEVs. By mid‑2025, electrified vehicles will no longer niche—they will represent a significant chunk of Spain’s car market and are reshaping its environmental footprint.
