We now know what is going on in the top markets (China, Europe, USA...), but what about other significant ones?
1. Japan is down 22%, to 14k;
2. Canada is up 33%, to 10k;
3. Same goes for South Korea, up a significant 59%, to to 6k units;
The remaining markets already above 1,000 units are: Malaysia, Australia and Israel, with the Aussies, up an impressive 41%. Are plugins finally moving the needle in Australia?

What about the UK, already voted out from EV sales?
ReplyDeleteTheir numbers are included in Europe.
DeleteI mean, they leaving the EU, not the European Continent… :D
UK is not a part of the continent, it is an island driftig away from from europ.
DeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteI did not suspect Malaysia or Israel to be mentioned as other top nations.
Major takeaways: Japan is in fact still much larger than Korea (though maybe not for long, if current trends continue...); while Canada is a more important market than I realised. (And surely even more so going forward, with the new federal incentive introduced just recently...)
ReplyDeleteNice to see progress in Australia despite the lack of incentives :-) This seems to be a global trend: while markets without incentives are generally a few years behind those that have incentives, the growth rates tend to be similar.
I have high hopes for Canada, if they managed to already go North of 2%, now with the Federal incentive, i expect sales to pick up significantly in the remaining of this year.
DeleteThis is really interesting as I wonder if there will be over a million ev sales outside of China this year.
ReplyDeleteAssuming you are including PHEVs, it was already close to a million outside China last year... With all the interesting new or improved models arriving this year (Leaf+, e-tron, EQC, international Model 3, new Soul, new IONIQ, international Niro, new Zoe etc.), or having the first full year of deliveries (I-Pace, Kona, improved i3), I'm hopeful it should crack a million easily this year.
