Since 2023 it seems that the electric car market is not only gaining strength in Europe, China and the United States but, apparently, it is a trend that is going to grow in crescendo. However, in the case of the Old Continent, as well as now also in the United States, governments are thinking about measures to cut off Chinese manufacturers.
Aside from this situation, Elon Musk's firm, Tesla, is known worldwide for its electric cars and, to the surprise of many, one of its models has been crowned the best-selling car of the entire year 2023 worldwide.
Tesla Model Y, 2023 sales leader
This is the case of the Tesla Model Y. 1.23 million units of this car were sold during 2023 worldwide, which is 64% more than in 2022. But its achievement does not lie in total sales, but rather which has been crowned as the first electric car in history to top this world ranking, as confirmed by data from the consulting firm Jato Dynamics.
It should be noted that the data is provisional to the extent that, as Jato Dynamics has reported, “a small number of markets” are yet to publish their data and statistics for 2023, but what is true is that the Model Y, For now, it occupies a privileged position.
This Tesla model is followed by the Toyota RAV4, with a total of 1.07 million units sold, as well as the Toyota Corolla, with 1.01 million registrations, in this case, also worldwide.
Felipe Muñoz, global analyst at Jato Dynamics, has described the work achieved by Tesla with the Model Y as “extraordinary” “in such a short time.” “The increase in global sales of the Model Y is unprecedented, especially for a vehicle among the ten best sellers,” added the analyst.
Of course, and this is something that Muñoz has also mentioned, Tesla has managed to increase its demand this last year due, among other factors, to its large price cuts, which have led, among other things, to its increase in sales.
Its price is 18-23% lower than the average cost of the rest of the electric vehicles sold in Germany and the United States. “As a result, Tesla is on the minds of many consumers looking to buy an electric vehicle,” they conclude from Jato Dynamics.
