The Atto 3 is continuing its impressive showing in the Israeli market and is comfortably sitting at the top of the BEV sales charts so far this year., 10,923 BEVs have been registered so far this year in Israel up to the end of February. Of these, 4,590 or 42% were BYD Atto 3s!And here are some specs of the Atto 3.BYD Blade Battery with a capacity of 50.12 kWh BYD’s performance in Israel is really impressive given the fact that it has just one model at the moment.
Geely, which had been the leader and star performer in the market before the Atto 3 was introduced, continues to do well, registering 2,200 units in the same period, which is a good 20% of the BEV market. A look at all the brands that have registered at least 100 units in that period is quite interesting as well. Of the 16 brands that registered over 100 units in that time, 8 of them or 50% are Chinese.
South Korea’s Hyundai is in third place with 110 units, which is just under 10% of the BEV market in that period. In fourth place is Mercedes-Benz, having registered 441 units in that period, which is 4% of the BEV market. It’s encouraging to see that Leapmotor is also in the mix with 132 units. Leapmotor launched sales of the T03 in Israel last year.
Outside the top 16, other notable names include Polestar with 57 units, Hongqi with 54, ORA with 48, Voyah with 25, JAC with 24, VW with 6, and LEVC with 5. Tesla was also there with 3, but as we know, Tesla deliveries in certain markets tend to come in at a certain time in a quarter. Overall, with almost 11,000 BEVs sold in the first 2 months of the year there, the Israeli market looks a promising market for BEVs. I am really looking forward to seeing how the market evolves.
