Plug-in electric car sales in China increase quickly despite the fact that the overall car sales in September noted a serious 17% decrease year-over-year.

In total, some 355,000 new plug-in electric cars were registered last month, which is a new all-time record (three in a row, and the third in the past four months). The year-over-year growth rate exceeds 170%, while the result is 24% higher than the previous record in August.

The market share of plug-ins has reached a new all-time high of 20%, which is one in five new cars.; Not only that, 17% are BEVs, while only 3% plug-in hybrids.

The most recent results are probably just a preview of even higher volumes in the last three months of the year – those were usually the strongest months.

So far this year, close to 2 million passenger plug-in cars were sold in China (significantly more than in all of 2020), which is 13.3% of the total market. BEV share stands at 10.8%.

At the current rate, the total plug-in car sales in China might reach 3.0 million in 2021. That’s more than half of the global volume.

A very high number of plug-in cars set new monthly sales record in September. The highest result belongs to the Wuling Hong Guang MINI EV (over 35,000), but the MIC Tesla Model Y was not far behind with 33,033 units.

Then we can see the Tesla Model 3 (19,120) ahead of the plug-in hybrid BYD Qin Plus (15,164), which by the way, together with the all-electric 8,396 BYD Qin Plus EV, was above 23,000.
