The electric car market goes wild: record in June and the CHR+ flies
The Toyota CHR+ is no longer ordered, it's raffled. The plug-in hybrid model has its production committed until December, while reservations for other electric cars grow at a rate not seen since the Moves plans. So far in June, electric car registrations exceed by 40% those of the same period in 2025, and everything points to a historic record this month, with more than 13,000 units for the first time.
Two readings of the same data
On the one hand, those who see a real takeoff of the market: Toyota, KIA and other manufacturers are increasing their supply and capturing demand. On the other, those who remember that the peak coincides with the arrival of Tesla ships, which every quarter shoots up the figures at the end of the period. Seasonality exists, but the year-on-year trend is solid: 18 consecutive months of growth, and it will be 19 with June. The last time the previous year's record was not exceeded was in November 2024.
The last quarter, an unknown
July and August will be weak (August is traditionally the worst month), but from September an avalanche of new models is expected. The CHR+ sold out until December indicates that demand is not letting up. According to projections, the June record will not be beaten until December, but that month could be historic. Tesla's acceleration at its European factory, which will hire 3,500 people, reinforces the commitment to local production.
The million-dollar question: is it sustainable? Those who defend that it is point out that growth no longer depends on a single manufacturer; skeptics recall that every quarter Tesla's cycle dresses up the average. The answer will come from the data of the coming months.
