While 16.2% seems like a solid part of the pie (two times more than the German 7.9% share of the U.S.’ total light vehicle market), according to our stats, the share held by German OEMs has in fact been decreasing over the past years, despite introduction of many new plug-in hybrid models.

The peak was 20.3% in 2015.

2013: 1,009 (1.0%)

2014: 11,351 (9.3%)

2015: 23,586 (20.3%)

2016: 29,069 (18.3%)
