No, these are total car registrations.
The German Federal Motor Vehicle Office (KBA) has a press release for more detail (only available in German).
TLDR:
In September, registrations of purely battery-electric passenger vehicles (BEVs) rose by 32% to 45,500 units. New registrations of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) recorded growth of 85%, reaching 27,700 vehicles. For the year as a whole, new BEV registrations increased by 38% to 382,200 units. The PHEV segment grew by 64%, reaching a volume of 217,800 vehicles in the first nine months.
BYD and Tesla’s volume are a fraction of these numbers.
Don’t know about the car service.
