Update on BYD registrations in Europe for August 🇨🇳⚡ I think September will be a good month. August was weak due to seasonality. August is always Europe’s slowest sales month. The run rate is now above 300k units per year. 📈

Tesla’s sales in Europe have been rather weak in the first two months of Q3. The only major market with a strong start was France 🇫🇷. Tesla may be amplifying the delivery-wave pattern rather than winding it down (see second image).

I added Toyota Group (incl. Lexus) to my recent chart of global BEV sales by auto group. Surprised to see how significantly Toyota has ramped up BEVs in recent quarters ⚡📈 Still, BEV share in Q2 was just a measly 4.5% of their global sales.

I estimate that about 78% of BEVs sold in Australia 🇦🇺 so far this year were built in China 🇨🇳⚡ This assumes that only 2 percentage points of Tesla sales are not built in China, and all Chinese brands produce 100% of their BEV vehicles in China.

Tesla registrations in many European countries appear exceptionally low this July. However signs point more to a focus on exports rather than a demand issue. My updated European sales chart may be delayed this month. I’m currently refactoring my code and streamlining the whole workflow.Stay tuned!
