China’s NEV Market Reaches Record 1.4 Million Wholesale Sales in October, Says CPCA
The new energy vehicle (نيف) market in China hit an all-time high in October, with wholesale sales estimated to reach 1.4 مليون وحدة, according to the China Passenger Car Association (سي بي سي إيه). This marks a 58 percent increase year-on-year and a 14 percent rise from September, underscoring strong growth driven by government incentives for NEV purchases.
The CPCA noted that all provinces across China have now adopted car replacement subsidy policies, sparking a new wave of momentum in the automotive market. The October surge in NEV sales has been supported by these government subsidies, which encourage consumers to trade in older vehicles for new energy models.
في سبتمبر, automakers with wholesale sales exceeding 10,000 units accounted for a substantial 92.7 percent of total NEV sales. This strong performance continued in October, with these manufacturers estimated to have sold around 1.3 مليون وحدة, contributing to the record-breaking 1.4 million wholesale sales milestone. This is the fourth time that monthly NEV sales in China have surpassed one million units.
China’s NEV segment includes battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (السيارات الكهربائية الهجينة القابلة للتوصيل بمصدر كهرباء), and fuel cell vehicles. Exact figures for each category are expected later this month. The CPCA highlighted that NEVs have shown impressive traction in the market, with entry-level electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids gaining particular interest from consumers.
Survey data indicates that NEVs now make up over 60 percent of new car purchases through trade-in programs, demonstrating strong demand across consumer segments. Leading automakers in October included بي واي دي, مع 500,526 الوحدات المباعة; جيلي, مع 108,722 الوحدات; و تسلا الصين, مع 68,280 الوحدات.
This sustained growth in NEV sales points to a robust shift in consumer preference towards greener vehicle options, supported by favorable government policies. As NEVs continue to gain traction, China’s automotive market is poised for further expansion.
