Indigenous Vehicles Dominate Chinese Electric Car Sales

Even though Tesla is dominating electric vehicle sales in the United States, the company is trailing domestic competition in the massive and lucrative Chinese market. Website Clean Technica has released its latest analysis of plug-in electric vehicle sales in China, finding that the BAIC EU-Series was the top-selling model between January and August of this year. The electric sedan sold 65,593 units, ahead of two other Chinese models - the BYD Yuan (57,413) and the SAIC Baojun E-Series EV (31,900). The Tesla Model 3 was far behind with 14,439 units sold in the first eight months of 2019.
