Plug-in Market (BEV+PHEV): Europe remains ahead of China
- Over the first nine months of 2020, Europe remains ahead of China in sales of 100% electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) cars, as Europe has registered 772,340 BEV + PHEV models while China registered 695,131 units over the same period. Europe seems to be able to maintain its leadership position for the complete 2020 year, as in September the gap is still in its favour (160,059 cars sold compared to 131,022). China remained the leader in this market until 2019, when the Chinese government decided to revise the incentives granted for the purchase of electric cars.
- The United States and Japan continue to have a low demand for this type of vehicle, with only 190,322 units and 29,000 units respectively. The other countries have registered 97,500 vehicles of this type, for a worldwide market of 1,784,293 plug-in vehicles over the first nine months of 2020.
- Tesla remains by far the leading car maker of this vehicle type (316,820 units), ahead of the Volkswagen (208,323 units), Hyundai-Kia (123,519 units), BMW (118,592 units) and Renault-Nissan groups (111,109 units). units) which lost its second worldwide rank for this type of vehicle in 2020.
- The Renault Zoe regained its first rank from the Tesla Model 3 in Europe in 2020, but this was not enough for the Renault-Nissan group to maintain its worldwide position.
