All delivery data come from company filings, which are reported on the first of each month. Xiaomi is the exception as it provides only vague numbers such as “25,000+” units; thus, China EV DataTracker provides the estimated delivery numbers. Sales numbers are wholesale, thus including export, if there is any.
All data show sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs). NEV is a Chinese government term for BEV (battery electric vehicle), PHEV (plug-in electric vehicle), and FCEV (fuel-cell electric vehicle). FCEV (hydrogen) sales are almost non-existent in China.
