The sale of electric cars exceeds diesels: the result of “positive word of mouth”, estimates the director of the Cetelem observatory

Between savings made and brake lifting, the demand for electric cars exceeded that of diesel models in June. Communication around 100% electric has clearly weighed in the balance Estem Flavien Neuvy, economist and director of the Cetelem Observatory.

This is the result of “word-of-mouth“, said on Wednesday July 19 on Franceinfo Flavien Neuvy, economist and director of the Cetelem Observatory, while for the first time sales of electric cars exceeded those of Diesel in June in Europe, according to the association of manufacturers. In one year, their market share increased from 10.7% to 15.1%, totaling 158,000 vehicles sold. Motorists quickly made their calculation. “”The 100 kilometers electric, despite the increase in electricity, costs less than the 100 kilometers “, he explained. The price of cars and the lack of charging stations are still brakes for many potential buyers. “”We will take less time to load your car. It is also necessary to give engineers a little time, to technology to advance“, he reassured.

franceinfo: this surprises you to see electric cars exceed diesel in Europe ?

Flavien Neuvy : In France, in 2012, diesel sales represented three -quarters of registrations, diesel crushed everything. At the time, almost no one believed in the first electric vehicle that came out on the market. In the meantime, many things have happened. There was the “dieselgate” first, which really turned the situation and then also the regulations that evolve, since the choice was made to go to the 100 % electric. We have seen that ordering on electric cars have increased a lot at the time of the rise in fuel prices. But there is also the fact that the main brakes for motorists are being lifted. There are still more and more charging stations in public space, the electric cars that come out have much more autonomy than five or ten years ago. There are still many more models for sale. It must be remembered that five or ten years ago, there were only a few cars available in 100 % electric. Today, all manufacturers offer a lot, many models.

This is the result of an awareness ?

Today, the message is clear. The choice is the 100 % electric, it is the future. What especially plays is positive word of mouth. Overall, people who buy an electric model are happy with their car. When they talk about it around them, to their family, they say that it is rather a car that meets their expectations, that there is no disappointment in use. It falls less down, it costs less in terms of maintenance. The 100 kilometers electric, despite the increase in electricity, costs less than the 100 kilometers thermal.

Are there enough electric terminals on vacation roads ?

We spent the symbolic milestone of the 100,000 terminals, it’s been so long since we were waiting for it but there are still blocking points, when there are strong crowds and especially at the time of vacation departures service. Manufacturers invest billions and billions in research and development, in innovation.

“The charging times will decrease, we will take less time to load your car. It is also necessary to give engineers a little time, to technology, to advance.””

Tesla prices have dropped. The price of electrical cars remains a brake ?

It is still a subject of vigilance because it must first be remembered that the sale prices of new cars, we have shown it in our studies at the Cetelem observatory, increased twice as fast as inflation over the past 20 years. We have a real very strong increase in selling prices for new cars and electric cars are even more expensive. For many households, the electric is unaffordable, inaccessible on the financial level. We will have to be vigilant because with the increase in volumes, the prices of raw materials, lithium, cobalt, rather tend to increase over time. You will have to be vigilant on this point so that the maximum number of people can switch to electric mobility.

How French cars are positioned ?

We are lucky to have two major world -size manufacturers, who invest a lot. This is a chance for our country, but it is true that competition will be rough and in particular with Chinese manufacturers who have been making very good quality electric cars for a very long time. They positioned themselves in this niche and the fact that Europe decides to switch to the 100 % electric, obviously, for them, it facilitates a little work. There is no longer the barrier to the technological entry represented by thermal engines, the competition will therefore be fierce. But French manufacturers invest a lot and we have large manufacturers with very good engineers. So I have no doubt that French cars will be competitive.

Diesel exceeded by electricity, this is a first. Sales of electric cars have indeed exceeded those of diesel models in the sale of new cars in Europe. The market share of electricity has thus increased from 10.7 % to 15.1 % in one year. They notably exploded in the Netherlands, Germany, France or Belgium.

This progression is carried in particular by Tesla, which broke its prices: one in five electric sold in Europe in the first half carries the badge in the capital. Diesel continues to decline despite starts in Germany and central Europe, and now represents 13.4 % of sales.

Push in Germany, France and Italy

Hybrid cars have also increased sharply and represent 24.3 % of the market, driven by Germany, France or Italy. Separately, sales of rechargeable hybrids (which can be plugged into a socket or a terminal) are down over one year, with 7.9 % of the market. Essence remains, however, the majority energy in the EU with 36.3 % of sales in June, up 11 %, with the overall rebound in the market. More broadly, sales of new cars rebounded in Europe in the first half, with an increase of 17.9 % over a year.

With 5.4 million cars sold, the market remains 21 % lower than that of the first half of 2019, the last year of all records before COVI. “The increases in recent months show that the European automotive industry is recovering from the logistical problems caused by the pandemic,” said the ACEA in a press release.

The European automotive market has started to grow permanently since August 2022, while the Covid crisis, combined with a shortage of parts including the crucial electronic components, had carried a very hard blow to it.

I ask to see closely ! Rechargeable hybrid or not, hello consumption by rolling normally, that is to say at the limits prescribed. As for the batteries. I worked in space and they have always been a problem. So on the ground I fear that it is worse !

“Rechargeable hybrids”. Because some are not ? You make the batteries dismantle so that they are put in the trash after having installed others, which will make you 150 km to break everything like the first, and will join them quickly in the same trash ? Sorry, but in terms of electric batteries I am ignorant. So, if “we” do not make any effort to, at least explain myself, nothing surprising if I continue to buy TDI that satisfy me well.

Sales to individual sales (rental companies, business fleets) in order to be able to analyze the real pier’s pierce in the market in the market.
