Tesla sales have dropped by nearly 45% in Europe, according to data compiled by the research platform Jato Dynamics.
The Texas-based electric carmaker, whose CEO is Elon Musk, sold less than 16,000 vehicles across Europe last month, down 44% on average across 25 countries in the EU, the UK, Norway and Switzerland.
Tesla’s market share also fell to 9.6% last month, the lowest it has registered in February for five years. However, in the UK the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders reported an almost 21% rise in the number of new Tesla cars registered in February, with the Model 3 and Model Y proving the second and third most popular after the Mini Cooper.
Musk’s senior role in Trump’s administration has led to a consumer backlash by some Tesla owners or prospective buyers. Tesla dealerships have also been the target of protests.
