New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China

I won't do the full Australian breakdown this month, instead here are October sales of selected China-brand EVs:
BYD Atto 3: 912
MG MG4: 751
BYD Dolphin: 100
GWM Ora: 77
Dolphin deliveries only began in the last few days of the month so I wouldn't take that as a true reflection of demand levels. That said I don't think MG4 had a full month on sale either. I was going to list Tesla sales for comparison, but Tesla deliveries are still far too variable month-to-month to serve as a useful indicator of anything.
GWM Tank 300 sold 643 units across the month, a pretty respectable turnout for a new and relatively niche vehicle from an unknown (sub-)brand, particularly one that has faced a fair bit of backlash over the under heavy braking. GWM definitely needs to rectify this if possible, because the kinds of people who buy these vehicles are definitely the kinds of people who will sit in a bar or around a campfire or at a worksite all day talking about this stuff.

Yep, Russian sanctions have really helped Chery.
Keep in mind that you need sales network and local distribution to do well in export markets. Chery has been developing this for years. That's why they export more than anyone else.
Byd is now up to 30k/month. Already more than geely brand. Don't expect it to double again overnight. It needs time to grow.
BYD/Denza on a roll this morning
Denza Sales chief came out to address the entire 800V hype and why it's a misnomer
Videos of Denza N7 coming out showing very good Highway NOA performance, yet people continue to think somehow BYD is bad at software
KG Mobility & BYD teaming up for battery pack and factory in Korea
and develop next gen hybrid platform. So, looks like KG will use BYD's next gen DM-i (5th gen), lol
BYD launching eBus9 in Korea, planning 120 deliveries this year

VW/Cariad to rely on Vivo software for smart cockpit tech
yes, Chinese tech companies will rescue VW's software weakness
Taylor's response to me. Again, very informative

byd with a huge buildup in stores
Why is that?
About time. I think there are just too many Chinese EV car makers. Need some consolidation
