Wolfsburg. With the delivery of four million all-electric vehicles, the Volkswagen Group has reached another milestone in its successful electrification strategy. In 2025, the Group was one of the top five BEV manufacturers worldwide and was the clear BEV market leader in its home market of Europe with a market share of around 27 percent. The Group's first all-electric series production vehicle, the VW e-up!, was launched back in 2013, followed by the VW e-Golf in 2014. From 2019 on, a cross-brand product offensive based on the new Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB) drove significant volume growth. To date, around three million Group vehicles based on the MEB have been delivered, making it the Group's leading electric platform.
“Four million all-electric vehicles delivered mark another milestone in our successful electrification strategy. This underlines our ambition to become the global automotive technology driver. Our product offensive is paying off: we are one of the top five manufacturers worldwide and have one of the broadest all-electric model portfolios in our industry. We are continuing to expand it this year with our Electric Urban Car Family in the attractive entry segment. It took us around ten years to deliver the first million pure electric vehicles. The fourth million took just one year. We will further accelerate this momentum with our exciting products and innovative technologies.”
With its product offensive across all brands over the past two years, the Volkswagen Group has comprehensively renewed its portfolio and launched around 60 new models. Around one-third of these have an all-electric drive. The Group brands currently offer their customers more than 30 all-electric vehicles in the passenger car segment alone, from compact cars to luxury SUVs. In addition, there are all-electric trucks and buses from the TRATON brands Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus. This gives the Volkswagen Group one of the most comprehensive BEV portfolios in the automotive industry.
In the current year, the Group is consistently expanding its range and once again bringing more than 20 new models onto the road, around half of which are all-electric. These include pioneering new electric models in China and the Electric Urban Car Family in Europe, consisting of four all-electric vehicles in the entry-level segment.
Global BEV production network comprises more than 20 locations
The Volkswagen Group manufactures its all-electric vehicles in several European markets, in China, in the USA and in Brazil. At around 77 percent, the majority of the four million BEVs were produced in the home market of Europe. There are 11 BEV production sites here, located in Emden, Zwickau, Hanover, Bratislava, Mlada Boleslav, Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm, Leipzig, Zuffenhausen, Munich and Södertälje. With Pamplona and Martorell, two further locations are in the starting blocks, where the models of the Electric Urban Car Family from the Brand Group Core will roll off the production line in future. Preparations for the start of BEV production are also underway at the Volkswagen brand's main plant in Wolfsburg, as well as at the Bentley plant in Crewe, England. One in five of the Group's BEVs was built in China, the world's largest electric vehicle market. There are four production sites there: Anting, Foshan, Hefei and Changchun. Around three percent of the BEVs delivered to date were produced at the Chattanooga and Tulsa plants in the USA. In Brazil, production of all-electric commercial vehicles recently started at the Sao Paulo plant.
95 percent of BEVs were delivered in the core markets of Europe, China and the US
The three core BEV markets also clearly dominate deliveries, accounting for around 95 percent. More than two out of three all-electric vehicles were delivered to customers in Europe (68 percent). As with production, China accounted for 20 percent of deliveries. Around eight percent of vehicles went to the USA. All other markets combined accounted for five percent.
Clear brand focus in the volume segment
At around 72 percent, the clear majority of BEVs were accounted for by the Brand Group Core, which serves the volume segment. With around two million vehicles, around half came from the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand. This was followed by Škoda with 480,000 units, SEAT/CUPRA with 230,000 units, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles with 140,000 units.
The Brand Group Progressive contributed around 22 percent of all BEVs. This comprises 870,000 Audi models in the premium segment.
Around six percent of all-electric vehicles were delivered in the Brand Group Sport Luxury. This amounted to 250,000 Porsche vehicles that the sports car brand handed over to its customers.
The Brand Group Trucks accounted for a total of around 0.3 percent of BEV deliveries, corresponding to around 11,000 vehicles.
Compact class and SUV/crossover models most popular with customers
The most popular vehicle segment for BEVs was the compact class, accounting for around 70 percent of deliveries. This includes vehicles the size of the VW ID.3 and ID.4 models, the Škoda Enyaq, the CUPRA Born, and the Audi Q4 e-tron .
In terms of body types, vehicles with an SUV or crossover silhouette were the most popular among buyers. More than half of all BEVs fell into this category.
