Resale as a share of New BEV

The same series measured as a share, not in units: from 62.7% in 2015 to 43.1% in 2026.

Where does the resold car come from?

The 181,119 ownership transfers between 2015 and 2026, split by how the car joined the Spanish fleet: registered new here or imported second-hand.

An imported car is resold much sooner once it is here: one in five of its transfers comes in its first month on Spanish plates (21.4%), against 1.8% for cars registered new in Spain.
