The automotive data specialist, AAA DATA, has just provided us with the list of the 60 best-selling electric cars in France. This ranking is interesting in more than one way.
First, according to Autoways, the French new vehicle motor vehicle market recorded 1,659,146 registrations in 2021. This is + 0.5% compared to 2020 (1,650,186 registrations), but the market was down 25.48% in 2020 compared to 2019. In short, the automotive market is far from being out of the crisis.

Note also the presence of the ID.4, the EV6 or even the Model Y, these models should be very present at the top of the rankings at the start of 2022. They were marketed in the second part of the year 2021 and have despite everything, recorded good sales performance.
