Registrations of Tesla cars continued to rebound in France, Denmark and the Netherlands in April, but fast-moving Chinese rivals such as BYD kept chipping away at the U.S. electric vehicle maker's market share. Tesla's sales have recovered strongly in Europe this year after two consecutive annual declines, including a drop of nearly 27% in 2025. The EV maker's sales rose almost 45% across Europe in the first quarter. Interest in new and used EVs has surged across the continent since the Iran war began on February 28, driving fuel prices higher.
