Plug-in vehicles (BEV + PHEV) sales: Top 15 by group
- Inovev has compiled the figures of the top 15 leading groups in the category of plug-in vehicles (BEV+PHEV) which is becoming increasingly important on the global market. Inovev took the year 2015 as the basis for the calculations. What do we see?
- Tesla has managed to outrun its rival groups, after the launch of the Model 3, with nearly 500,000 electric cars sold worldwide in 2020, but the Volkswagen group has achieved a spectacular breakthrough in two years, thanks to its ID3 models and ID4. Battery electric and plug-in hybrid engines are becoming widespread among all brands of the German group and across all ranges, so that 420,000 of these vehicles were sold in 2020 by the Volkswagen group. In third position but detached (230,000 sales), the Renault-Nissan group has not consolidated its leadership position in this category that it had before 2017. In fourth position, the GM group (215,000 sales) mainly benefits the success of its small electric WulingHongGuang which is sold in China. BYD is in an even more uncomfortable situation than Renault-Nissan, as this carmaker was in the top-two, and now fell to eighth place in 2020 due to competition. BMW, Hyundai-Kia and Daimler are now ahead of BYD.
- Over the first 4 months of 2021, few changes, but we note a strong dropout from Renault-Nissan which falls to ninth place, even being overtaken by the Stellantis group which is increasing the launches of BEV and PHEV.
