Subsidies for the VW ID.3 and the Spitze

Automotive analyst Matthias Schmidt has called on the European electric car market to assess the sales of electric cars by segment. Who benefits from the turnover dominates the end of the first half-year SUVs from 2024 and the crossover model at Absatz. But there are also no surprises on the market. Play further than the Volkswagen ID.3 (9700 approvals) and the MG4 from the Chinese manufacturer MG (9660 approvals) on a central role. In June, a new series of new electric cars started on both models, the 19,359 of the 30,546 new models in the C-segment, one of the middle classes, with Automotive Analyst Matthias Schmidt in his first report.

The great damage to the Volkswagen ID.3 is less than that of the large Volkswagen cars, which Volkswagen has produced for a year in the long boat hat of Germany. These subsidies, which are provided for an amount of 7000 euros, can be paid, but the Pre-orders in June can be walked in no time. Especially in Germany the ID.3 believed: A third of the preferred cars these models went to a German customer. Also MG could make a profit from the high prices. A Grund can make a start of the 5th time. July is the new date, the EU-Zölle on Chinese electronic car imports in Kraft paper. Industry observers are always busy selling products to MG in July, whoever gets started.

I am A-segmentalso with the Kleinstwagen, war the situation in the first half of 2024 less dynamic. In addition to the war with the Dacia Spring model was hit, the production standards in China are no longer suitable for the state subsidiary in France. The approvals that these models went in June a more than 70 percent in comparison to the previous year back. Citroëns ë-C3, which gets an e-purchase price of less than 25,000 euros, can be solved with software problems. Fiat factory, with the new Grande Panda, has put a new model on a certain price segment, which is based on the platform of the ë-C3. The Renault Twingo hinges in June still solid, before 2026 during a new electric car. In Summe führte die dazu, dass das A-Segment 2.9 Prozent Anteil am Gesamtmarkt für sich vereinnahmen konnte.

That B-segmentalso the small car class, which goes beyond models from the Stellantis Group and the dominant Renault groups. Around 96 percent of the cars in this segment come from these two manufacturers – at a price of 6.4 percent on the total market. Except in France and Italy, which liked these cars in anticipation, large state subsidies were not granted. France bought the model from buyers for 4,000 euros extra, in Italy it costs 6,000 euros for electric cars up to 35,000 euros. The introduction of the new Renault 5 that summer would have given a supplementary boost to the segment.

That too C-segmentIf the Volkswagen ID.3 entry is activated, it can act aggressively during the year in which the position is determined. With a market of 10 percent (11.2 percent) in June war is the month in the following month, in these segments is a Erfolg verzeichnen konnte. The market is stable if it is 12 percent of the shares, while Volkswagen will leave the pre-orders.

I am D-segmentthe Upper Middle Class car is one of the most recent problems in June. If the prominent models here of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and the Tesla Model 3 are used, profits can be made below prices in Italy. This fuhrten dazu, dass fast jeder fünfte in Western Europe, zugelassene Tesla Model 3 in June in the Italian registration world. In Summe, the D-Segment brought a number of 11.1 Prozent, of which 7.2 Prozent of the upper middle class, the others 3.9 Prozent of Premium-Modelle including the BMW i4 and the Polestar 2, the Segment of the Near-Executive-Fahrzeuge dominate. Bisher gelingt es Nio und Zeekr noch nicht, maßgebliche Absätze beizutragen.

I am E-segmentAlso in the upper class vehicles, the German manufacturer Audi, BMW and Mercedes is a party – with an Anteil von zwei Prozent on the Gesamtmarkt. Asian models of the Nio ET7 or the Genesis G80 play a pivotal role.

I am Luxury segment (1.1 Prozent) dominate the models of the Porsche Taycan, including in Great Britain, which Steuervergünstigungen de Absatz fördern. There are only four luxury vehicles in Western Europe that are sold.

A particular success was in SUV and crossover segment (61.4 percent) to show that more than 60 percent of the market power. Ford has launched a new model with the new explorer, while Audi and Porsche have launched new models that will become their part of the Absatzwachstum.
