IT House July 19 news, according to INSIDEEVs reports, although there were supply chain problems, the new crown epidemic and other factors in the second quarter of this year, the sales of pure electric vehicles of Tesla, BYD and Volkswagen still increased year-on-year.
Among them, Tesla sold 254,695 vehicles in the second quarter of 2022, a year-on-year increase of 27%. The second quarter of this year was lower than the previous two quarters due to the significant disruption of production at Tesla’s Shanghai plant due to the new crown epidemic. The Shanghai plant will significantly increase production later this year as production resumes and is upgraded. In addition, Tesla’s German factory and a new factory in Texas, USA, will further increase production.
Due to the different locations of BYD factories and a high degree of vertical integration, BYD is less affected by the epidemic as a whole. At present, the output of BYD factories is increasing.BYD’s pure electric vehicle sales in the second quarter reached 180,296 units, a year-on-year increase of 228%, consolidating its second-place position. As a comparison,That’s 70.8% of Tesla’s sales.
Volkswagen Group is eager to challenge Tesla’s position, but due to the pessimistic European market, Volkswagen’s main electric vehicle market, the Volkswagen Group sold about 118,000 pure electric vehicles in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%. For comparison, that sales amounted to 46% of Tesla’s sales.
IT House has learned that in the first half of 2022, BYD surpassed Tesla to become the world’s top seller of new energy vehicles (including hybrid models). Among them, BYD sold 641,350 new energy vehicles in the first half of 2022, a year-on-year increase of 314.90%. In the first half of 2022, Tesla produced 563,000 vehicles globally. Although it increased by 46% year-on-year, the Shanghai factory was temporarily closed due to the impact of the epidemic, of which only 1,512 vehicles were delivered in China in April. As a result, BYD has become the global new energy vehicle sales leader in the first half of this year, and has a sales advantage of nearly 80,000 vehicles.
