The Volkswagen Group has reached a major milestone in its electrification journey, delivering four million battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) globally. The achievement highlights the company’s rapid expansion in the electric mobility segment and reinforces its position among the top five EV manufacturers worldwide in 2025, while maintaining a leading position in Europe’s EV market.
According to the company, Volkswagen Group holds a 27 percent market share in Europe, making it the clear leader in the region’s battery-electric vehicle segment. The milestone reflects the growing demand for electric mobility and the company’s strategy of expanding its EV portfolio across multiple brands and vehicle segments.
The group began its EV journey in 2013 with the launch of the Volkswagen e-up!, followed by the e-Golf in 2014. A major turning point came in 2019, when the company launched its cross-brand electric product offensive based on the Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB) platform. Since then, approximately three million vehicles based on the MEB architecture have been delivered worldwide.
Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume said the milestone demonstrates the company’s ambition to become a global automotive technology leader. “Delivering four million all-electric vehicles marks another milestone in our electrification strategy. It took us nearly ten years to reach the first million EVs, but the fourth million was delivered in just one year,” he said, adding that new electric models and advanced technologies will further accelerate growth.
Over the past two years, Volkswagen Group has renewed its product lineup by launching around 60 new models, nearly one-third of which are fully electric. Currently, the company offers more than 30 all-electric passenger vehicles, ranging from compact cars to luxury SUVs. The portfolio also includes electric trucks and buses produced by its commercial vehicle brands.
The company plans to expand its EV range further in 2026, with more than 20 new models expected to be launched, about half of them fully electric. Among these will be the Electric Urban Car Family, a new range of affordable electric vehicles designed for the entry-level segment in Europe.
Volkswagen’s global EV production network spans more than 20 locations across Europe, China, the United States, and Brazil. Europe remains the largest production hub, accounting for around 77 percent of the four million EVs produced so far, with major manufacturing facilities in Germany, Slovakia, and other European countries.
China, the world’s largest EV market, accounts for around 20 percent of the group’s EV production, while about three percent of vehicles have been manufactured in the United States. The company recently began producing electric commercial vehicles in Brazil as well.
In terms of sales distribution, Europe, China, and the United States together account for about 95 percent of Volkswagen’s EV deliveries. Europe leads with 68 percent of deliveries, followed by China at 20 percent and the US at eight percent.
The majority of the group’s EV sales come from its volume segment brands, which account for around 72 percent of total deliveries. The Volkswagen passenger car brand alone contributes nearly two million units, followed by Škoda, SEAT/CUPRA, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. Premium brand Audi has delivered around 870,000 electric vehicles, while Porsche has handed over about 250,000 EVs to customers worldwide.
Compact vehicles and SUV-style models have emerged as the most popular among customers. The compact class represents around 70 percent of deliveries, while SUV and crossover body styles account for more than half of total EV sales.
Among Volkswagen Group’s most popular electric models are the ID.4 and ID.5, which lead deliveries with over 900,000 units, followed by the ID.3, Audi Q4 e-tron, Škoda Enyaq, and Audi e-tron/Q8 e-tron. Other popular models include the Porsche Taycan, CUPRA Born, Volkswagen e-Golf, ID. Buzz, and the ID.7.
The milestone underscores Volkswagen Group’s continued investment in electric mobility as it expands its global EV lineup and production capacity to meet rising demand for sustainable transportation.
