According to the data, the cumulative sales of new energy models in the world in 2021 will reach nearly 6.5 million, an increase of 108% year-on-year, becoming the most important growth pole in the automotive market. Recently, the CleanTechnica website also released the top 20 list of global new energy brand sales in 2021. Let's take a look at the top 20 brands.
Looking at the entire list, Chinese brands occupy nearly half of the country, with a total of 8 car companies on the list, namely BYD, SAIC-GM-Wuling, SAIC Passenger Cars, Great Wall, GAC, Chery, Xiaopeng and Changan. In addition, there are 4 German brands, 3 European brands, 2 American brands, 2 Korean brands, and 1 Japanese brand.
Let's take a look at the list specifically. Ranking first is the American brand Tesla, with annual sales of 936172 vehicles and a market share of 14.4%, becoming a well-deserved global electric vehicle overlord. Among them, model 3 annual sales of more than 500,000 vehicles, ranking first, for four consecutive years to become the best-selling pure electric model; Model Y sales also exceeded 410,000 units, ranking third in the list of models. Not surprisingly, with the rapid delivery of model Y orders, Tesla will reach a higher altitude in 2022.
In second place is BYD, with annual sales of 593878 vehicles, an increase of more than 200% year-on-year, and a market share of 9.1%. As the leader of China's new energy vehicles, BYD has a deep accumulation in the field of new energy, and has independently mastered the core technology in the fields of battery, electronic control, architecture and other fields, and after the introduction of the original Audi designers, the styling design has also made significant progress. If it is not limited by chip and battery production capacity, BYD's annual sales of new energy should be able to knock down more than 700,000 vehicles.
In third place is SAIC-GM-Wuling, with annual sales of 456123 vehicles, of which MINI EV sales accounted for 424138, accounting for more than 90%. It is followed by Volkswagen, which sold 319735 vehicles in 2021, a number that looks good, but it is not good for a giant like Volkswagen.
In fifth and sixth place are BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which are also the two brands with the highest bicycle prices on the list. In the Chinese market, BMW 5 Series New Energy is the first choice for many users who pursue brand premiums, and it is often seen that it has sold out every month. And Mercedes-Benz's EQ series, although in the eyes of many people looks a little weird, but can not stand the interior is good-looking, the brand tone is high, there are still many followers.
Next is SAIC Motor, which sold 226963 vehicles for the year. According to the 160,000 vehicle data released by SAIC Passenger Vehicles, the two brands of SAIC Passenger Cars and SAIC Maxus should be included here. SAIC Passenger Cars has many models, plug-in hybrid, pure electric, but each model sales are not very good, there is no explosive model like BYD Qin PLUS DMi.
The 8th-10th place is Volvo, Audi and Hyundai, with annual sales of more than 150,000 vehicles. In addition, the Great Wall ranked 12th with sales of 137,400 vehicles.
