China: NEV sales in October 2026 exceed forecasts
In October 2026, retail sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China reached 1.148 million units, 78,000 more than forecast by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), with penetration approaching 70%. This dynamism coexists with mixed developments: plug-in hybrids fell by 28%, Xiaomi Auto surpassed 330,000 vehicles sold from January to October, and Wuling sold nearly 100,000 new energy vehicles in October. Manufacturer performances diverge, with Geely Galaxy setting a monthly record of 153,385 units and Chery claiming success for its Tiggo range, against declines by GAC Group, JAC in NEVs, and Zhijie. The provided sub-events all relate to China and do not document differences between countries.
