China: 1.8 million new energy vehicles sold wholesale in October 2026

In October 2026, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CPCA) estimates wholesale sales of new energy vehicles in China at 1.8 million units, up 12% year-on-year, while CLSA indicates a 5% month-on-month increase in automobile sales. Manufacturer performances are contrasted: Chery announces a record 140,893 new energy vehicles, its seventh consecutive month above 100,000 units, but other players are declining, such as Yutong (-2.76%) and Qianli Technology (-25.81%). Tesla China sold 67,829 vehicles wholesale in October, up 10.3% year-on-year but down 28.9% month-on-month, and ranks eighth in electric vehicle sales, while its Shanghai plant marks a twelfth consecutive month of year-on-year growth and redirects production toward Europe and Asia. The sub-events provided cover only China; international coverage (United States, France, South Korea, Germany, etc.) does not present a distinct national fact in these elements.
