Although the continuation of the global epidemic and the shortage of chips have made it difficult for traditional automakers to have a hard time in 2021, the growth momentum of last year in the field of new energy vehicles led by pure electric vehicles is still not to be underestimated. Recently, EV-Volumes, an overseas new energy vehicle sales data agency, released the sales data of new energy vehicles in 2021. According to the data, the number of new vehicles registered by electric vehicles (including plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles) in the world reached 6.5 million in 2021, compared with 3.1 million in 2020, an increase of 108%. In addition, in terms of the proportion of new cars sold globally, electric vehicles also continue to encroach on the market for traditional fuel vehicles, of which pure electric vehicles account for 11% of the global sales of new cars, which means that for every 10 new cars sold globally, there is a pure electric vehicle. In addition, plug-in hybrid models account for 4% of new car sales worldwide.
In the global ranking of electric vehicle companies, Tesla continues to sit firmly at the top of the list with the number of 936172 deliveries for the whole year, followed by BYD with the number of 593878 vehicles; the third place is SAIC-GM-Wuling, with 456123 new car deliveries in the whole year; in addition, the Chinese car companies on the list also have SAIC Motor Group, ranking seventh with the annual delivery of 226963 new cars.
In addition, the performance of Chinese brands in the field of electric vehicles is also quite eye-catching, and among the top 10 electric vehicles sold in the world, including plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles, there are 5 Chinese brand models, accounting for half of the share. Among them, the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV follows the Tesla Model 3 and ranks as the world's second best-selling electric vehicle model in 2021, with annual sales of 424,000 vehicles. In addition, BYD Qin Plus PHEV, Ideal ONE, BYD Han EV, BYD Song (data include Song Pro and Song Plus), and Changan Benben EV also ranked 5th to 99th in the rankings, respectively.
