BEV + PHEV worldwide sales by brand and model in the first 4 months of 2021
- Over the first 4 months of 2021, 1,519,566 battery electric (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) vehicles were sold worldwide (i.e. 2.66 times more than in the first quarter of 2020), including 666,572 in China , 616,845 in Europe and 236,149 in other regions, mainly the United States. China and Europe are therefore neck and neck in the sales of BEV + PHEV cars, but in terms of market share, Europe keeps the advantage because its overall market is one and a half times smaller than the Chinese market.
- The BEV + PHEV market share in Europe thus stands at 15% of the passenger car market, while it does not exceed 10% in China. And it is only 5% in the United States, waiting for a new policy to really develop this market. However, in the world, the market share remains at a very low level (7.5%), because for many regions electric and hybrid engines remain inaccessible. But this market share is growing overall every year, and the past three years have seen the strongest growth.
- In the first 4 months of 2021, Tesla remains by far the leading brand in this electric market, with 216,079 units sold, ahead of GM-Wuling (133,720 units), Volkswagen (89,655 units), BMW (83,885 units), BYD (78,690 units), Mercedes (72,139 units), Volvo (63,375 units), SAIC MG-Roewe (57,713 units), Audi (47,715 units) and Peugeot (39,329 units).
- The best-selling models over the period were the Tesla Model 3 (141,696 units), WulingHongGuang Mini EV (125,925 units), Tesla Model Y (72,296 units) which alone represent 22.5% of BEV + PHEV vehicles registrations in the world.
