China’s electric car exports surge by 140 Per Cent

Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids manufactured in China are increasingly becoming an export hit for the People's Republic: In October alone, 606,000 plug-in vehicles were exported from the country — an increase of 140%. In contrast, domestic sales in China declined by 8.6%.

The latest wholesale figures from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) once again highlight the boom in so-called New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China.

The CAAM data includes domestic sales and exports, covering both passenger and commercial vehicles. ‘NEV’ is the Chinese umbrella term for purely electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. For cars, this almost always means battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), whereas hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (FCEVs) are generally only relevant for commercial vehicles alongside other electric vehicle types. The Chinese government now excludes hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs, i.e., without plug-in option) from its NEV designation.

NEVs have continued to see significant sales growth — up by 13.1 per cent compared to October 2025, reaching 1.94 million units. This figure combines domestic sales of 1.334 million units with exports: 606,000 plug-in vehicles were exported.

The 606,000 NEVs exported is an impressive figure: growth compared to the same month last year was 140 per cent. Even compared to the 571,000 units in September 2026, there was still an increase of 6.1 per cent. More importantly, this means that 31.2 per cent of all NEVs were exported last month.

353 million were battery-electric, and 587,000 were plug-in hybrids (with CAAM including range extenders in this category).
