Tesla’s vehicle sales across Europe tumbled by nearly 50 percent in April, even as overall electric vehicle demand accelerated across the continent, according to data released on May 27 by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).
Tesla sold only 7,261 cars in Europe last month, down from 14,228 a year ago—a drop of 49 percent. Meanwhile, overall electric vehicle sales in the region jumped by nearly 28 percent, showing how much ground Tesla is losing in one of its key markets.
