Korean media: Global electric vehicle sales reached 9.74 million units in the first half of the year, with two Chinese companies accounting for a third!
On September 14, South Korean media "Herald Economic" published an article stating that the number of newly registered electric vehicles globally in the first half of this year increased by more than 30% compared to the same period last year.
According to market research company SNE Research, the global registration of electric vehicles from January to June this year was approximately 9.469 million units, an increase of 31.8% compared to the same period last year (7.184 million units).
From the brand perspective, BYD from China continues to maintain the top position in global electric vehicle sales, with a year-on-year increase of 32.4%, reaching 1.998 million units, and its market share increased by 0.1 percentage points to 21.1%.
Geely Group from China ranks second, with sales of 960,000 units, an increase of 71.3% year-on-year, and its market share increased by 2.3 percentage points to 10.1%.
Tesla's sales decreased by 13.2% to 721,000 units, dropping from second place last year to third place. The weak performance of its flagship models Model Y and Model 3 is the main reason for the decline in sales. Especially in Europe, Tesla's sales fell by 28%, and in the North American market, it dropped by 12%.
Hyundai Motor Group, ranked seventh, continues to maintain its growth momentum, selling 295,000 electric vehicles, an increase of 9%.
From the regional perspective, the Chinese market accounts for 63.2% of the global market share (an increase of 3 percentage points), with sales of 5.981 million units, an increase of 38.4% year-on-year.
The European market increased by 28.3% to 1.947 million units, with the overall market share decreasing by 0.5 percentage points to 20.6%; the North American market decreased by 0.8% to 855,000 units; the global market share decreased by 3 percentage points to 9%.
Sales in Asian markets outside of China reached 509,000 units, an increase of 43.9%, with a market share of 5.4%.
SNE Research said: "The global electric vehicle market is driven by growth in China and Europe, while the North American market has stagnated due to policy uncertainty and slowing demand. The global electric vehicle industry is moving beyond simple technological competition into a landscape influenced more by geopolitical variables such as trade policies, subsidy systems, and restructuring of production bases."
