Sales of electric passenger cars in China in 2015
- Over the ten months of 2015, the production of electric passenger cars (BEV PHEV) reached 122 000units. In details: 75 747 electric cars and 46 784 plug-in hybrid cars.
- Thus production of electrically powered vehicles in China is strongly increasing (+216% compared to 2014), but stay at a fairly modest level, since the largest market globally will produce throughout 2015 a volume of less than 150 000 units produced from a total expected of 20 million vehicles of PC, across all powertrain types, which means less than 1% of China's passenger car production.
- In comparison, Europe will produce this year about 150 000 electric passenger cars from a total of 16,5 million passenger cars across all powertrain types, or nearly 1% of EU car production. Which means that for an equal volume of production, there are as many electric vehicles produced in Europe as there are in China. The United States are also situated at the same level of Europe and China, with a share of nearly 1% of the total production.
- It is to be noted that in China, the electric buses market is important as for the 10 months of 2015, more than 42,000 buses have been produced (31 379 electric and 11 087 plug-in hybrid), while the number of Commercial Vehicles (Light and Heavy Duty Trucks) is marginal (2655 electric).
