- In a BEV market that represents 24.6% of the Chinese passenger car market (4,554,601 BEVs) in the first nine months of 2024, BYD Group registered 1,166,079 BEVs (25% of the BEV market) and remains the leader in BEV sales in China ahead of Tesla (675,758 units, 15% of the BEV market). This is followed by Geely Group (390,142 units), GM Group (369,930 units, including 308,323 Wuling units), GAC Group (226,964 units), Changan Group (193,632 units), Chery Group (151,996 units), NIO Group (149,281 units) and Volkswagen Group (145,027 units). Behind them are the Leapmotor (127,337 units), SAIC (106,751 units) and Dongfeng (104,791 units) groups. The German premium brands (BMW and Mercedes) recorded much lower sales (less than 100,000 for BMW and less than 50,000 for Mercedes).
- What is the share of electrification (BEV) in each of the major automotive groups in 2024 in China? Tesla is the carmaker that records the largest share of BEV in its sales with 100% like NIO, Xiaomi and Xpeng which are the only Chinese carmakers to produce only BEVs. Next are Leapmotor (75% BEV), Hozon (73%), Jiangling (69%), GAC (45%), BAIC (44%) and BYD (43%). Contrary to popular belief, BYD currently sells more PHEVs than BEVs.
- Other carmakers sell less than 40% of BEVs in their sales in China, such as Dongfeng (39%), GM (39%), FAW (23%), Geely (23%), SAIC (20%) and of course the German Premium brands (BMW and Mercedes) which sell less than 20% of BEVs in their sales in China for BMW and even less than 10% of BEVs for Mercedes. The most disappointing result is that of the Volkswagen group which sells only 8% of BEVs in its sales in China in 2024.

- The European automobile market for passenger cars (31 countries) fell by 4.2% in September 2024 compared to September 2023, to 1,118,083 units against 1,167,637, after having fallen by 16.5% in August 2024 and stagnated at +0.4% in July 2024. As a result, the market only increases by 1% over the first 9 months of 2024, to 9,779,605 units compared to 9,685,850 over the first 9 months of 2023, the first half of 2024 having been largely positive (+4.4%).
- The European countries which see their sales increase in 2024 (over 9 months) are Poland (+13.8%), Bulgaria (+18.4%), Croatia (+12%), Hungary (+7.3%), Romania (+4.3%), the United Kingdom (+4.3%), the Czech Republic (+2.6%), Slovenia (+6.8%), Spain (+4.7%) and Cyprus (+6.2%). Thus, we observe that the countries which have seen their sales increase are overwhelmingly those located in Eastern Europe (apart from Spain), that is to say those which buy very few electric vehicles (including Spain). One exception: the United Kingdom, which is one of the largest buyers of BEVs and whose overall market is growing by 4.3%.
- The European countries which are seeing their sales decline sharply in 2024 (over 9 months) are Finland (-19.1%), Sweden (-7.9%) and Norway (-3.9%) which are among the countries with the greatest demand for electric vehicles. Note that Germany saw its sales fall by 1% and France by 1.8%, these countries being among the largest buyers of electric vehicles in volume.
- It seems that countries purchasing electric vehicles are affected by the drop in demand for BEVs and that those which purchase very few BEVs are on the opposing very little affected.
