Who registers the new electric car in Spain: private, company and fleets · 2024

How many new electric cars each type of owner registers in Spain in 2024 — private individuals, companies, leasing (renting), rental fleets and taxis — with the brand and model ranking for each. In Spain, company and fleet channels move a large share of the BEV market, so who registers a car tells you as much as how many.

The leading brand in each owner type · 2024

The most registered brand within each segment, with its new BEV passenger cars.

Leasing and rental: the layers inside company

How companies register. The layers overlap — a car can be both on leasing and registered to a company — so they don’t add up.

  • Company 25,314baseline
  • Leasing (renting) 9,44837.3% of company
  • Rental 3,38713.4% of company

All on the same scale, with company as the baseline. Leasing and rental are layers inside company: they’re compared against it, not a split of it.
