Despite the month to month increase, February 2021 registrations were 20% lower than in February 2020. The average share of battery-electric vehicles remained at 6%, as did the average share of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, at 8%.The FCA-Tesla-Honda pool had the highest share of battery-electric vehicles (12%) among all manufacturers in February. In Germany, 30% of all new FCA-Tesla-Honda passenger cars were registered as battery-electric vehicles. The CO2 emission levels of most manufacturer pools remained constant, on average being about 7 g/km away from the regulatory 2021 target.
