Plugin vehicles are all the rage in the Chinese auto market. Even in the slowest month of the year, plugins scored 291,000 registrations, upThis pulls the year-to-date tally to over 665,000 units, and with March set to be another strong month , we should have over 1 million registrations by the end of Q1.
Here’s more info and commentary on February’s top selling models, this time extending to 7th so that we can have a better look at BYD’s star players:last month, the tiny four-seater won another best seller title, but considering past performances, it’s kind of ascore. It seems the new, direct competition, like the Chery QQ Ice Cream, has started to make a dent on the little EV. Still, with this kind of scale, it is natural that the joint venture is turning a profit on its star EV .
But enough about BYD and Tesla. Outside the top 20, we should highlight Geely’s Zeekr brand, with the high-end 001 model scoring 2,916 registrations. That’s a prelude of a likely bright future for the newborn brand. Below the podium, the BYD Tang PHEV has jumped four positions, to 8th, thus making it five BYDs in the top 8 positions. Hozon’s Neta V climbed one position, to #15, and the Volkswagen ID.4 was also up one position, to #19.
How many Plugins are China expecting to sell this year?
Hopefully it’ll be 40% this month.
