The first half of the year is already behind us so we can take a look at which companies are producing and selling the highest number of plug-in electric cars.

Plug-ins (BEV+PHEVs)

In the plug-in category, which combines all-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) cars, we can see a big change compared to Q1.

BYD is now #1 with a massive result of over 640,000 units and 15.4% share (2.6x higher than a year ago), while at the end of March, it was slightly behind Tesla (285,849 vs. 310,411). Meanwhile, the BEV-only Tesla, with over 564,000 units in H1, has a 13.6% share (down from 15.2% a year ago).


Battery-electric only (BEV)

In terms of all-electric car registrations, Tesla remains the king (over 564,000), but its market share decreased by another few percent to 19%. That's still a lot - almost one in five new BEVs globally.

However, BYD again shines with over 326,000 units and doubled market share year-over-year to 11%.

Analysts have said they expect BYD to sell 1.5 million vehicles this year, doubling from 2021, as more customers make the switch to cleaner cars. BYD now only sells pure electric vehicles or hybrids
