Tesla’s new car sales in Spain dipped in November even as the wider market for electrified vehicles (EVs) doubled, according to fresh registration data from Spain’s automotive industry.
Figures published on December 1 show that Tesla registered 1,523 new cars in Spain last month, an 8.75 per cent fall compared with November 2024, industry association ANFAC confirmed. Over the first eleven months of 2025, Tesla’s Spanish sales were still up 5.56 per cent year on year.
EV registrations more than double
Total registrations of electrified vehicles – fully electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models – surged in November. ANFAC reported 23,367 electrified vehicles registered in the month, up 103.8 per cent compared with November 2024 and representing 20.77 per cent of the overall market across all vehicle types, according to the association’s monthly bulletin (ANFAC).

For passenger cars alone, electrified turismos reached 21,315 registrations last month and 22.65 per cent of that segment –essentially twice their share a year earlier – according to data cited by Spanish financial newspaper Cinco Días. Over January–November, electrified passenger cars totalled 201,751 units, equivalent to 19.3 per cent of all cars sold in Spain.
Overall Spanish car market posts strong November
Spain’s new-car market grew 12.9 per cent in November to 94,124 registrations, bringing 2025’s year-to-date total to 1,045,638 vehicles, up 14.7 per cent on the same period of 2024. Even so, sales remain 9.3 per cent below 2019 levels, according to figures compiled by ANFAC alongside dealer associations Faconauto and Ganvam.
ANFAC said November’s data marked a “milestone” for the transition to cleaner mobility. Director general José López-Tafall emphasised that more than 200,000 EVs have now been sold in Spain this year and warned that, while progress is clear, “electrification still needs to accelerate” to match European averages.
EV incentives continue to shape buyer behaviour
Government subsidy schemes such as the Moves programme remain central to the growth in EV registrations. Earlier this year. In late 2025, the government also confirmed that Moves would be phased out and replaced by a new centralised Auto Plan 2030 from next year, intended to streamline applications and reduce disparities between regions
Tesla’s Spanish performance reflects wider European trends
Tesla’s softer November result in Spain aligns with patterns across parts of Europe. Separate registration figures reported by Reuters show Tesla’s November sales dropping 58 per cent in France and 49 per cent in Denmark compared with a year earlier, even as overall EV markets in those countries continued to grow.
Earlier this year, Euro Weekly News reported that Tesla delivered 19,046 cars across Europe in January and February 2025, down from 37,311 during the same period in 2024, based on data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association.
What this means for drivers in Spain
For Spanish motorists considering an electric car, the latest figures highlight a rapidly evolving market. Tesla remains a major brand, with year-to-date sales still higher than in 2024, but competition has intensified markedly as buyers shift towards a broader range of electric and plug-in hybrid models.
With some of Europe’s most generous EV incentives still active through the end of 2025 – and a new national scheme due in 2026 – those weighing up a Tesla or a rival model face a market offering greater choice, sharper pricing, and a growing share of EVs on Spanish roads.
