Electric car sales in Germany expected to rise in 2026

Investing.com -- Germany’s new car registrations are projected to increase slightly to approximately 2.9 million vehicles in 2026, according to the VDIK association of international motor vehicle makers.

This forecast represents growth from the 2.83 million new vehicle registrations expected for 2025 in Europe’s largest economy, the association said on Wednesday.

VDIK President Imelda Labbe noted that the prediction depends on specific government actions. "Our prediction is based on the assumption that the government’s planned support for private electric car customers will start retroactively at the start of 2026 and that competitive, transparent electricity prices will be created with a comprehensive infrastructure," Labbe said.

The slight uptick in vehicle registrations is contingent on Berlin implementing its planned electric vehicle support measures, according to the association.
