Electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for a record 66.7 percent of new car sales in mainland China during the first week of June. This figure, which includes both pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, indicates that two out of every three new cars sold during the seven days ending June 7 were electric. The penetration rate marks an increase from 62.9 percent recorded in May.
Electric vehicles (EVs) achieved a record market share in mainland China, capturing 66.7 percent of new car sales during the first week of June. This milestone highlights a significant shift in the country's automotive market.
During the seven-day period concluding on June 7, two out of every three new vehicles sold were either pure electric or plug-in hybrid models. This record penetration rate represents an increase from the 62.9 percent observed in May.
This surge in EV sales suggests that China's battery-powered car manufacturers are benefiting from the ongoing global energy crisis, driving consumers towards more fuel-efficient and electric options.
According to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), these figures confirm the growing dominance of electric vehicles in the Chinese market.
