Due to the rising prices of raw materials in the supply chain, the price of electric vehicles in 2022 has increased significantly compared with the past. But even so, driven by the general environment, the sales of electric vehicles in the first quarter of this year only increased, reaching nearly 2 million. Then let's analyze which car companies have entered the top 10 of the list.
NO.1: Tesla
Tesla sold more than 310,000 vehicles in the first quarter and continued to be the world's most popular electric vehicle brand, with the Model 3 and Model Y becoming the absolute main sales force. And Tesla has been plagued by production capacity recently, and the pick-up cycle has gradually increased, if it were not for this reason, this number would have become more exaggerated.
NO.2: BYD
It was followed by BYD in second place, with first-quarter sales of 285,849 units. Compared with Tesla, which has a global market, BYD is more domestic sales, so it is also very good to achieve such results. RECENTLY, BYD has expanded its product range, including a new destroyer range and ocean network. More models will undoubtedly make the product line more dynamic.
NO.3: SAIC-GM-Wuling
The reason why Wuling can come to the third place in the list is more that the Hongguang MINI EV is greatly respected in the market, and the ultra-low price solves the problem of people traveling. Not only that, Wuling also continued to further develop the market, launching a series of derivative models such as Nano EV to further broaden the audience.
NO.4: BMW
BMW's transformation in the field of electric vehicles can be said to be quite positive, in the country and even the world has launched a number of new pure electric vehicle models such as iX, iX3, i4, etc., which also allowed it to obtain sales of 75,000 vehicles in the first quarter, and the results can be said to be quite impressive. At the same time, BMW also said that from 2025 to 2030, the sales of brand pure electric vehicles are expected to increase by more than 20% per year, and by 2030, pure electric vehicle sales will account for more than 50% of the entire brand.
NO.5: Volkswagen
Although Volkswagen has a large market volume in traditional models, it can still detect the changes in the future wind direction for the first time. Volkswagen has long been developing a pure electric MEB platform. And quickly launched the ID series products, a good model matrix makes it quite popular in the market.
NO.6: Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz sold 66,848 electric vehicles in the first quarter, and the results were still remarkable. From the current point of view, the development of Mercedes-Benz's EQ series has become increasingly perfect, and cars and SUVs are taken into account. However, the price of Mercedes-Benz's electric vehicles is still as expensive as ever, and the premium is generally high, especially with the rise of new forces, people's attachment to the brand seems to have become less sensitive.
NO.7: SAIC Passenger Cars
AT present, SAIC Passenger Vehicles is mainly MG and Roewe as sales output points for new energy vehicles. The main high-end pure electric market is Feifan Automobile and Zhiji Automobile, but the sales of these two new brands are relatively average, and whether they can take into account the heavy responsibilities in the future needs further observation.
NO.8: Modern cars
Hyundai sold 54,325 units in the first quarter, ranking 8th on the list. Although there are almost no modern electric vehicles in China, new cars are actively launched in overseas markets. Among them, IQNIQ 5 is quite popular in the market, and its sci-fi shape design stands out among many new energy models.
NO.9: Chery Automobile
Chery's rankings this year began to rise, mainly due to the launch of a new QQ ice cream, which has the same product positioning as the Hongguang MINI EV, so it has also received corresponding support.
NO.10: Kia Cars
Kia, which also belongs to the Korean car, has also successfully entered the top 10 of the list with a sales volume of 51,000, because the product positioning is close to Hyundai and the technology is homologous, so the sales of the two brands are also imitation of the relationship between the upper and lower.
summary
On the whole, the brands on the list are still mostly traditional car companies, of course, this and the scope of calculation is from all over the world. If the statistical scope is in China, I believe that many new force car companies will also be on the list. But in any case, this time there are four independent brands on the list has been very successful.
