Global EV sales in August 2023 cross 1.2 million units: BYD is top EV brand

RahulNagaraj · 18th October 2023, 14:35

The global sales of electric vehicles exceeded 1.2 million units in August 2023, almost creating a new record. As per reports, 12,38,484 units of passenger electric cars were registered globally in August 2023 - a 45% rise compared to the previous year.

Of the 1.2 million electric cars sold, BEVs accounted for 9,00,000 units, while PHEVs, HEVs and other smaller electrified cars registered the remaining 3,58,000 units of sales. In terms of year-to-date numbers, EVs have registered 8.1 million units of sales, of which BEVs and PHEVs account for 5.7 million and 2.5 million units, respectively.

Like previous months, the Tesla Model Y maintained the title of the best-selling EV, registering 1,15,885 units in August 2023. However, of the top 10 best-selling EVs, 8 of them came from Chinese brands such as BYD and GAC. The Tesla Model 3 was the only other non-Chinese EV on the list at 3rd place, with 48,815 units sold in August 2023.

Among the brand rankings, BYD leads the charge with 2,61,504 EVs sold in August 2023, ahead of Tesla, which managed 1,70,171 EV registrations during the same month. Another Chinese brand, GAC Aion was third selling 51,570 EV units, with Volkswagen & BMW completing the top 5, managing 43,711 units and 43,304 units, respectively.

Hi - It will be good if you can share country or region wise sales numbers e.g. Tesla-BYD-VW-BMW-Mercedes & other manufacturers sales number either region wise e.g. Asia-Europe-USA-Africa-Middle East or best will be sales number country wise e.g. China-Japan-India-USA-Canada-Germany etc. etc.

I may be wrong, but it seems that BYD & other Chinese manufactures are mainly selling in China (95%+) and Tesla-VW-BMW-Mercedes are selling in many parts of world even though their EVs sales numbers (above 75%) are from their originating country.

BYD all-electric car sales almost passed Tesla in Q3 2023. End of Tesla's dominance ?

An exceptional thing happened in the third quarter of 2023, as the two largest all-electric car manufacturers (OEMs) - Tesla and BYD - sold a similar number of vehicles.

As with every quarter, in this post, we will take a look at the global sales results of battery electric cars (BEVs) by three OEMs - Tesla, BYD, and Volkswagen Group - although the third one is not in the same league as the first two right now.

All-electric car sales in Q3'2023 (YOY change):

Tesla: 435,059 (up 27%)
BYD: 431,603 (up 67%) or 99.2% of Tesla's result
Difference to Tesla: 3,456 (down 96%)
Volkswagen Group: 209,394 (up 41%) or 48.1% of Tesla's result
Difference to Tesla: 225,665 (up 16%)
