It appears that Tesla is the sole representative of foreign brands in China!
In China, where the electric car industry is growing rapidly, it seems that domestic car brands predominantly dominate the market.
Defying the odds and weathering subsidy reductions, China's electric vehicle (EV) market demonstrated resilient growth in the first quarter of 2023. In a report by Counterpoint's China Passenger Electric Vehicle Model Sales Tracker, a notable upswing of 29% year-on-year in EV sales was recorded. The market's lion share was seized by battery electric vehicles (BEVs), accounting for an overwhelming 70% of all sales. Meanwhile, the plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) sector also witnessed a spectacular boost, skyrocketing by an impressive 88% year-on-year, a testament to its escalating favor among Chinese consumers.
Within this dynamic market, the automaker BYD rose to prominence, conquering a significant chunk of the market share with an astonishing 79% surge in sales and a 9.8% expansion in market share compared to the previous year. Notably, the top 10 automotive groups, comprising 28 distinct brands, collectively represented over 80% of all passenger EV sales in China, mirroring the competitiveness within the Chinese EV sector where seasoned players maintain their hegemony.
In spite of subsidy reductions, China's EV market continues to flourish, testifying to the country's enduring enthusiasm for electric vehicles. Given China's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions and an encouraging regulatory climate, the nation stands ready to uphold its status as the world's largest EV market, inviting further innovation and investments into the arena.

Reflecting the thriving domestic EV industry, Chinese manufacturers claimed eight out of the top 10 best-selling EV models during the first quarter of 2023, leaving scant room for foreign contenders. With the exception of Tesla, no foreign models broke into the list of China's top-selling EVs, underscoring Chinese consumers' robust preference for domestic EV brands.
The top 10 best-selling models alone commanded a significant 46% of China's passenger EV market, exemplifying the intense competition within the Chinese EV ecosystem, with domestic manufacturers driving the majority of sales.
When it comes to PHEVs, all top five best-selling models in Q1 2023 bore the badge of BYD Auto, further fortifying its dominance in this segment and cementing its pivotal role in China's burgeoning EV industry.
The impressive track record of Chinese EV models, combined with the near-absence of foreign rivals among the top 10, highlights China's strides in fostering a resilient and competitive EV market. As China continues to prioritize sustainable transportation and expand its charging infrastructure, local manufacturers are poised to lead the charge towards a greener future.
