Investing.com -- Tesla registrations continued to recover across some European markets in April, with sales rising in Denmark, France and the Netherlands as surging fuel prices following the Iran war drive consumer interest in electric vehicles.

Tesla registrations jumped 102% year over year in Denmark in April, according to data from bilstatistik.dk, while French registrations rose 112%, according to PFA. In the Netherlands, the automotive industry association BOVAG reported a 23% increase to 469 vehicles from 381 a year earlier.

The Dutch figures come not long after the country's vehicle authority RDW issued provisional approval on April 10 for Tesla's Full Self-Driving driver assistance software.

RDW has since notified the European Commission of its intent to seek EU-wide approval for the software, which Tesla offers via a monthly subscription.

The April data adds to a strong start to the year for Tesla in Europe, where registrations rose nearly 45% across the continent in the first quarter.

The rebound follows two consecutive annual sales declines, including a drop of nearly 27% in 2025. Interest in electric vehicles has accelerated since the Iran war began on February 28, pushing fuel prices higher across the region.

Despite the recovery, competitive pressures are intensifying. In Denmark, Tesla sold fewer vehicles than Chinese EV startup Xpeng in April, while in the Netherlands it was outsold by BYD.
