In 2021, the BEVs market share in Europe gets close to the Chinese one
- The two graphs below represent the monthly sales volume of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Europe and China from January 2018 to June 2021. The left graph represents the sales volume and the right graph represents the market share BEVs in the country's overall market.
- The sales volume of BEVs in China has always been higher than the sales volume of BEVs in Europe, except in February 2020 which was a month of lock down in China, due to the coronavirus crisis. The gap between the two markets has reduced, however, although in 2021 there are still twice as many BEVs sold in China as in Europe.
- In 2018, the average sales of BEVs in China was 64,000 units per month, compared to 17,000 in Europe. In 2019, it was 68,000 units per month in China, compared to 30,000 in Europe. In 2020, it was 80,000 units per month in China, compared to 62,000 in Europe. Finally, in 2021, it is 154,000 in China, against 82,000 in Europe.
- If we look at the market share of BEVs, it went from 3.2% in 2018 in China to 3.8% in 2019, 4.7% in 2020 and 9.3% in 2021. The 2021 year marks a clear acceleration in BEVs sales, pushed in particular by the arrival of Tesla in China and the small WulingHongguang Mini EV, which is very successful in this market. In Europe, the market share of BEVs increased from 1.3% in 2018 to 2.3% in 2019, 6.2% in 2020 and 7.7% in 2021. By way of comparison, the market share of BEVs in the USA evolve much more slowly, with 2.3% in 2021 against 2.0% in 2020, 1.5% in 2019 and 1.4% in 2018.
