Recently, the foreign CleanTechnica website released the 2021 global new energy brand sales data, data show that in 2021, the cumulative sales of new energy models in the world will be nearly 6.5 million, an increase of 108% over the same period last year, which is the highest annual growth rate since 2012, and the market share has reached an unprecedented 9%. Among them, the sales volume of pure electric models was 320,810 units, an increase of 69% year-on-year;D and the sales of M plug-in hybrid vehicles 272935 units, an increase of 31% year-on-year.
In terms of specific models, the cumulative sales of Tesla Model 3 in the whole year reached 500713 vehicles, achieving the top sales for four consecutive years. But this may be its last victory, as its market share is declining year by year, from 14% in 2019 to 7.7% today. Tesla Model Y ranked third with 410517 sales, with a market share of 6.3%.
In 2021, the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV won the second place again with the annual sales of 424138 vehicles, and the sales difference between it and the Tesla Model 3 was less than 80,000 vehicles; the Volkswagen ID.4 led the BYD Qin PLUS PHEV with a gap of about 10,000 units, ranking fourth; however, in the plug-in hybrid model, BYD Qin PLUS PHEV surpassed the 2020 champion Volkswagen Passat PHEV and regained the championship title in 2018 The ideal ONE, the representative model of the new forces, entered the top 6 of the list for the first time with a sales performance of 90,491 units delivered throughout the year. In addition, BYD Han EV, BYD Song Pro/PLUS DM-i, Changan Ben E-star, and Volkswagen ID.3 also entered the top 10 of the list.
In addition to the top ten, it is worth mentioning the Renault ZORE and Nissan Leaf, of which the Renault ZORE rose to 11th place, and the Nissan Leaf rose to 15th place, but compared with 2020 (Renault Zoe 3rd, Nissan Leaf 7th), the two regressed very seriously, which also reflects the competitive pressure faced by the electric models of traditional car companies from the side. At the end of the list, Xiaopeng P7 performed more brightly, successfully entering the top 20 of the list with a sales score of 60,607 vehicles in 2021, setting a record high.
From the perspective of new energy brands, the total sales of the top 20 brands reached 4.7634 million vehicles, accounting for 73.3% of global sales, and among the top 20 brands, independent brands occupied 8 seats, which were BYD, SAIC, SAIC Passenger Cars, Great Wall Euler, GAC Eian, Chery Group, Xiaopeng Automobile and Changan Automobile, these 8 independent brands accounted for 28.23% of the total sales of new energy vehicles in the world, supporting half the sky.
Specifically, Tesla unsurprisingly won the title of the world's best-selling electric vehicle brand again, ranking first with sales of 936,100 vehicles, with a market share of 14.4%, and is the only car company in the world with a market share of more than 10%. However, the 14.4% share is tesla's lowest in the past three years. (17% in 2019, 16% in 2020, and 14% in 2021) If BYD can continue this strong momentum this year (220% year-on-year), it is expected to surpass Tesla to win the 2022 sales championship.
SAIC-GM-Wuling took the third place with 456123 vehicle sales, accounting for 7% of the market; Volkswagen fell from 2nd place in 2020 to 4th; BMW and Mercedes-Benz ranked in line with 2020, ranking 5th and 6th respectively; 7-10 were SAIC, Volvo, Audi and Hyundai Motor.
In addition to the top 10, Great Wall Motor, GAC Group, Chery and Xiaopeng Automobile have all risen in the rankings, of which Great Wall Motors has risen 4 places to 12 places, GAC Group has risen to 14th, Chery has risen to 18th, and Xiaopeng Motors has risen 1 place to 19th, becoming the world's best-selling Chinese electric vehicle start-up brand.
