July global electric car rankings: BYD narrowly beats Tesla, and the most popular model also comes from China

Recently, CleanTechnica, a foreign new energy vehicle media, announced the global new energy vehicle sales in July, including data on pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Data shows that global electric vehicle sales totaled 480,506 units in July 2021, accounting for 7.1% of total vehicle sales, of which pure electric vehicle sales accounted for 66%, with sales of 318,000 units.

In terms of brand rankings, BYD, whose production capacity has been restored and DM-i models have been delivered one after another, broke the sales record again in July, beating Tesla in monthly sales again after half a year.

In addition, the three new Chinese car-making forces, Weilai, Xiaopeng and Li Auto, also entered the list. Ideal and Xiaopeng ranked 18th and 20th on the list with high delivery volumes in July. Weilai and Xiaopeng were only 100 vehicles apart and ranked 21st.

In the cumulative sales list for the first seven months, BYD surpassed Volkswagen and came in third place. The industry predicts that at the current rate, BYD is expected to surpass SAIC-GM-Wuling and take the silver medal by October.

Specifically for electric vehicles, the top three best-selling electric vehicles in the world remained unchanged. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV successfully defended its title with over 30,000 units sold, and Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y still ranked second and third.

Statistics show that in the first seven months of 2021, the cumulative sales of electric vehicles worldwide exceeded 3 million. Considering that the automobile market will be even hotter in the second half of the year, it is expected that the cumulative sales of electric vehicles this year will exceed 6 million. In comparison, the global sales of new energy vehicles in 2020 were 3.1248 million.
