About 235,000 plug-ins were sold, which translated to 15% market share.
Plug-in electric car sales surge in China to new record levels as multiple models are selling better than ever.
In June, some 235,000 passenger plug-in cars were registered (new all-time record), which is probably close to 160% more than a year ago. Moreover, the market share increased to 15% and 12% are BEVs. Plug-in hybrids are not that popular in China.
So far this year, about 1.1 million passenger plug-in cars were sold, which is 11% of the total market. BEV share stands at 9%.
It’s obvious that this year sales will exceed 2 million – possibly even 2.5 million.
