Another Record Month!

- The biggest EV market in the world, representing 62% of all EV sales globally, ended the year with a record month, and with BEVs representing 35% of all sales;

-Adding PHEVs to the tally, December's share was 59%, with the year ending with a 54% market share for plugins, 33% for BEVs alone;

- While a sliding BYD continues dominating, on model level, after years dominated by the BYD Song and Tesla Model Y, this time we have a new leader, with the Geely Xingyuan (EX2 in export markets), winning the 2025 trophy, followed by the tiny Wuling Mini EV.

- Expect the market to continue growing, with 2026 probably ending north of the 60% mark, with the 80% mark probably being crossed before 2030 and close to 100% before 2035. In the largest automotive market in the world.

- And when the biggest automotive market gets fully electrified...

Brands Ranking - BYD Leads, followed by a rising Geely, while Wuling closes the podium. Tesla fell from the 2nd spot of 2024, to 4th in 2025.

OEMs - Sliding BYD won, Geely shortened the distance and Changan replaced Tesla on the podium.

Tariffs and the Difference between Chinese BEVs & PHEVs

Comparing the best selling Chinese BEVs’ competitiveness to the local competition, and then doing the same for the best selling Chinese PHEVs, we notice the difference that increased tariffs make and the reason why I think China’s top OEMs will focus on the PHEV market in the near future.
