EV Atlas is a small independent practice for EV market intelligence. We publish primary-source registration data with full provenance, and we do bespoke analysis for OEMs, suppliers, investors, and policy teams that need defensible numbers. Read our public work below; if your question is harder than a PDF, talk to us.
Every engagement is grounded in primary-source data and a written methodology. Deliverables are yours; we don’t resell your insights to anyone else. Pricing below is a guideline — actual scope is agreed before a contract is signed.
A scoped engagement to answer one specific commercial question end-to-end: a market entry decision, a competitive shift, a regulatory exposure. Built on primary-source data with transparent methodology. You get a deck, the underlying model, and a working session.
Deep work on a multi-million-euro decision: a market expansion, a sourcing shift, a portfolio rebalance, an M&A diligence. Scenario modelling, sensitivity analysis, and direct workshops with your committee. Source-traceable so the numbers survive your audit.
Continuous coverage of your competitive position with a custom quarterly briefing tailored to your portfolio, plus the ability to call in between for ad-hoc questions. We keep your view of the market always current. Best for teams that don't want to rebuild the analysis every quarter.
We publish the methodology, the working papers, and the briefings on this site. Subscriber-only material — bespoke engagement summaries, full models, and per-source methodology notes — is shared under NDA.
BYD, Geely, Chery, MG, NIO, XPeng, Leapmotor: where they landed, where they're stuck, model-by-model registration data for the first quarter of 2026 across the markets we cover from primary sources.
Sales reports come from manufacturers; registrations come from governments. The two differ on used imports, fleet rotations, and timing — and the difference matters when you're modelling a market.
Plug-in hybrid registrations across our five-market panel are diverging by country. We map the trajectories and the regulatory drivers behind each one.
Every row in the EV Atlas dataset is parsed directly from a country’s primary government registration file and carries a SHA-256 of that source document. Coverage is deliberately narrow at launch and expanding as we clear sources we can defend.
| Market | Powertrains | History | Cadence | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany DE | BEV, PHEV | BEV history back to 2019; PHEV separately tracked from 2021 | monthly | /coverage/germany → |
| Spain ES | BEV, PHEV, FCEV | Eleven-plus years of monthly history, the deepest in our European coverage | monthly | /coverage/spain → |
| Netherlands NL | BEV, PHEV, FCEV | Sixteen-plus years of monthly history — the longest in our dataset | monthly | /coverage/netherlands → |
| Belgium BE | BEV, PHEV, FCEV | BEV/FCEV from 2021; PHEV cleanly separated from 2024 onward | monthly | /coverage/belgium → |
| Finland FI | BEV, PHEV | Twelve-plus years of monthly model-level history | monthly | /coverage/finland → |
We don’t estimate, infer from rankings, or model from press releases. Every published row carries a source-document SHA-256, a retrieval timestamp, and a URL pointing at the official government file we parsed. Re-run the pipeline against the same source files; the output is bit-identical.
Each row in the dataset carries a source_document_id and a source_event_id. The companion source_documents table ties each id to the original government URL, byte size, retrieval time, and licence status.
Used-import handling, fuel-class to powertrain mapping, vehicle-class boundaries, sales-vs-registrations distinctions — all explicit in the methodology, all versioned with each release.
The pipeline is deterministic over source documents. Given the same inputs, the output is bit-identical. Auditors love this; we built for it.
EV Atlas is an independent EV market-intelligence practice. We do two things: we publish primary-source EV registration data for European markets with full source provenance, and we deliver bespoke analysis and advisory work to OEMs, suppliers, investors, and policy teams that need defensible EV market answers.
Three formats. (1) Market Briefings: focused four-week engagements answering one specific question — typical fee €30–60k. (2) Strategic Assessments: 8–12 week deep dives on a portfolio decision, market entry, or sourcing question — typical fee €80–150k. (3) Quarterly Advisor: an annual retainer with on-call analyst access plus a custom quarterly briefing — typical fee €40–80k per year.
OEM strategy teams sizing competitive threats; tier-1 battery and component suppliers tracking customer share shifts; investment teams (PE, equity research, ESG funds) sizing EV-exposed positions; policy and regulatory teams tracking adoption vs targets; charging, leasing, and insurance companies modelling EV-driven demand. Most engagements come from existing relationships and referrals.
Primary government vehicle registration data, parsed directly from each country's national registry. No aggregators, no press releases, no scraped web pages, no inferred numbers from third-party rankings. Each released row carries a source-document SHA-256 so any figure reconciles to the original government file. We supplement with licensed industry data for cross-checking and global context, always with attribution.
Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Finland from primary registration data, with monthly model-level rows. Annual global context is included via redistributable open sources. France, the UK, Italy, Sweden, and Norway are next in the build. Coverage is deliberately narrow at launch — we don't publish what we cannot source defensibly.
Examples from recent engagements: how is BYD's European launch performing model-by-model and where is it taking share from? What is the realistic 3-year volume trajectory for our PHEV portfolio in Western Europe given the regulatory tightening? Which battery cell suppliers are gaining share with our customer accounts and where is the inflection? What is our exposure if Chinese OEM market share doubles in the next 18 months?
Our public insights at /insights are free to read and download. They show how we think, structure analyses, and present evidence. For confidential subscriber-only methodology and bespoke engagement examples, request a working session and we'll walk through past work under NDA.
Yes — a free weekly publication for working analysts in EV markets. One chart, one paragraph of analysis, signal-to-noise discipline. Subscribe from the home page or the Insights section. Pro-tier and bespoke briefings are available for teams that need deeper recurring coverage.
Those are large data vendors selling broad subscriptions across many sectors. We are a small independent practice. Our edge is the combination of primary-source provenance on the data we publish, transparent methodology, modern delivery, and the ability to do bespoke analytical work that a 2,000-person firm cannot. We complement those vendors more often than we displace them; many of our clients use both.
Registrations are the official act of a vehicle being entered into a national vehicle register — recorded by government agencies. Sales are commercial transactions reported by manufacturers or dealer networks. We report registrations because that's the auditable, source-traceable measure. Registrations and sales differ on used imports, fleet rotations, and timing; we exclude used imports by default and document our handling of edge cases.
