Spain’s Car Market Is Growing as Plug-in Demand Accelerates | September 2026

Spain’s Car Market Is Growing as Plug-in Demand Accelerates — September 2026 English video podcast adaptation, narrated with an AI-generated female voice. Market activity through 30 September 2026; analysis prepared 25 October 2026. Full article and charts: https://stevenautoinsight.substack.com/p/s... • New passenger-car registrations rose 10.2% in September and 6.7% in January–September; cumulative volume remained 5.5% below 2019. • Plug-ins reached 34.0% of September registrations, compared with 23.8% year to date. Non-plug-in hybrids retained the largest cumulative share, at 46.9%. • Toyota led cumulative brand registrations; challenger brands diverged sharply. Public charging additions slowed while almost a quarter of installed points were not operational. Measurement boundaries: Passenger cars only; PHEV includes EREV. Monthly BEV and cumulative all-powertrain model tables differ. Charging points are not sites; non-operation has several causes. The 1 October policy opening is later than September activity.
