China: October 2026 NEV sales exceed forecasts
In October 2026, retail sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 1.148 million units, 78,000 more than forecast by the CPCA, with penetration approaching 70%. This dynamism coexists with contrasting trends: plug-in hybrids are down 28%, Xiaomi Auto has sold more than 330,000 vehicles from January to October, and Wuling sold nearly 100,000 new energy vehicles in October. Automaker performance diverges, between Geely Galaxy's monthly record of 153,385 units and Chery's claims for its Tiggo range, on one hand, and declines at GAC Group, JAC on new energy vehicles, or Zhijie, on the other. The provided sub-events all concern China and do not document differences between countries.
