AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/04 Report--

Although it is now December, the global electric vehicle market is lagging behind due to the huge data and the difficulty of statistics. According to the statistics of foreign media CleanTechnica, global electric vehicle sales in October 2021 increased by 70% to 589663 units compared with the same period last year, accounting for 8.8% of the global automobile market, of which 416000 were pure electric vehicles, accounting for 79% of global electric vehicle sales and 6.2% of the automobile market.

Let's take a look at the global electric vehicle brand sales in October, the top three are still BYD, Tesla and SAIC GM Wuling, among which BYD's performance is very outstanding. As we all know, BYD's new energy vehicle sales have continued to grow in recent months, with global electric vehicle sales of 80289 in August, of which Qin Plus DM-i sold 17503 in the same month. If you add in Qin Plus EV's 8405, BYD Qin electric vehicle sales reached 25908 in October, and the car is still in the growth stage. In addition, BYD Song Plus/Pro DM-i also sold 10, 000 vehicles, or 11321. According to BYD's current market performance, its monthly sales basically increased by more than 10,000 vehicles month-on-month. After breaking 80,000 vehicles for the first time in October, it exceeded 90,000 vehicles again in November. At this rate of growth, it is not impossible to exceed 10,000 vehicles in December.

Tesla sold 48583 vehicles worldwide in October, including 27846 for Model Y and 16533 for Model 3. Due to the rapid growth of Hongguang MINIEV and BYD new energy vehicles, both Model 3 and Model Y have slipped down the rankings. Although Tesla has great advantages in the global market, it may take a long time to surpass Tesla with the rise of electric vehicles in China, but this has also brought some development pressure to Tesla. Judging from Tesla's current market performance, the Chinese market has become its most important market, and quarterly sales basically account for half of the global sales, so Tesla still needs to manage and manage the brand image in the Chinese market.

SAIC GM Wuling, which ranked third, sold 42507 vehicles worldwide in October, but Hongguang MINIEV led all electric cars in monthly sales, with 39128 in October, regaining the top spot from Tesla Model 3. Why can Hongguang MINIEV continue to sell well? First of all, the price is cheap, the starting price is only 30, 000 yuan, and its small appearance, daily transportation in the city also meet the needs of most consumers, coupled with policies such as unlimited number of micro-electric and free parking, which makes Hongguang MINIEV enduring in the electric car market.

The performance of other brands is relatively general, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Hyundai, Volvo, Audi, Peugeot, Renault, etc., as well-known car brands in the world, occupy a certain market in the fuel vehicle market, but the performance in the new energy vehicle market is very low, basically selling products mainly from oil to electricity, it is difficult to sustain growth. However, many of the above brands have begun to speed up the layout of new energy vehicles. For example, Toyota will launch its first pure electric bZ4x in the Chinese market, and Honda will also launch new electric vehicles such as e:NP1/e:NS1, especially Volkswagen, which have launched ID.4/ID.6/ID.3 in China one after another. these are newly designed electric vehicles, not petrol-to-electric models, and they all perform well in the market. It is also worth learning from other overseas car companies.

Finally, let's take a look at Chinese brands. In October, Chinese brands occupied nine seats in the best-selling electric car brand Top 20. In addition to the above-mentioned BYD and SAIC GM Wuling, SAIC, Guangzhou Automobile, Changan and Great Wall also appeared on the list, including an unknown brand, that is, punk cars that happen to be in the top 20. Punk currently has two models on sale: punk Meimei (RMB 2.98-46800) and Punk Duoduo (RMB 2.68-39800). The price and product configuration are comparable to those of Hongguang MINIEV. It is not difficult to see that after the popularity of Hongguang MINIEV, more and more brands will aim at this market, including Reading Motor, Chery New Energy and so on.

In the top 20 rankings, only Xiaopeng Automobile, the new power brand of car building, appeared on the list, and its sales reached more than 10,000 vehicles. Of course, as we all know, the sales of new power brands increased sharply in November, with more than 10,000 cars in Xiaopeng, ideal, Xilai and Najia, so there may be a big adjustment to the global car sales ranking in November. these brands are likely to appear on the list, which may be one of the few bright spots on the list.
