Global BEVs production by carmaker in 2020
- The global market for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) represented 2,141,311 units in 2020, divided into 995,397 units in China, 726,245 in Europe, 288,662 in the United States and 31,000 in Japan, the rest (100,000 units) being distributed over all the other regions.
- This market is up 37.4% compared to 2019, when it did not exceed 1,558,639 sales. This increase is observed in a context of a global market (all engines combined), which decreased by 14% in 2020 compared to 2019. As a result, the market share of BEVs rise from 1.8% in 2019 to 2.8 % in 2020.
- Which carmakers are the main producers of BEVs in 2020? Tesla dominates this category with a market share of almost 24%, or almost one in four electric cars. Tesla has the advantage of selling its models in the United States, Europe and China, which is not the case with other carmakers. Chinese carmakers only sell in China, except for a few who are also starting to sell in Europe (SAIC-MG, Aiways, Geely) but in very small quantities.
- The VW group, which is now in second position behind Tesla in the electric market, sells very little in China and the USA, but it plans to significantly increase its sales in these two markets, with its ID3 and ID4, first and with the upcoming ID6. The GM group (third) sells mainly in China through its subsidiaries Baojun and Wuling. The Renault-Nissan group (fourth) sells mainly in Europe (Renault Zoé, Nissan Leaf). The Hyundai-Kia group (fifth) is setting up a vast product offensive to catch up with the VW, GM and Renault-Nissan groups.
