Decline in electric car sales in Germany!
Today, electric car sales of Germany, the cradle of the automobile market, were announced. In Germany, the heart of the European automobile industry, there is a 16.4 percent decrease in electric car sales. The situation of Tesla, the first brand that comes to mind when it comes to electric cars, is not much different in Germany. Tesla, which recorded a 41.6 percent decrease with a total of 21 thousand 249 sales in the January-June period, made sales of 4 thousand 648 units with a 42.2 percent decrease only in June. This figure left it behind MG, which sold 5 thousand 158 units.
