According to the latest data released by the Portuguese Automobile Association, in the first 11 months of 2025, Portuguese pure electric vehicles will account for 22.9% of the total number of new car registrations, close to 25% of gasoline cars, far higher than 5.7% of diesel vehicles, highlighting the speed of Portugal's transition to electric mobility. According to statistics, in November 2025, BYD led the Portuguese electric vehicle market with 645 registrations, a sharp increase of 119.4% over the previous year. In the first 11 months of 2025, BYD's cumulative number of electric vehicle registrations in Portugal reached 4,477, an increase of 90.5% over the same period in 2024, reflecting strong market demand for its ever-expanding pure electric and plug-in hybrid models. Currently, the US electric car brand Tesla is still in the leading position in cumulative annual registrations in Portugal, but the gap between Chinese electric vehicles and their brands is narrowing, and it is shifting from an “alternative option” to an important force in shaping the Portuguese car market.
