China plug-in vehicles sales in May resulted in well over 26,000 plug-in electric cars sold, which represented a 119% year-over-year according to specifc model data collected by the EV Sales Blog.
Interestingly, over one third of the Chinese plug-in vehicle market is now in the possession of BYD, which in May exceeded 9,000 total sales as a brand – the company's second best result ever.
More impressively, BYD is still expanding its dominance over its home market – outpacing the segment overall in May with a 130% gain of its own.
Over the last month, two models – the Tang and Qin, were 1st and 2nd respectively, while Tang continues to strengthen its first overall position.
BYD May sales breakdown:
BYD's goal for 2016 is to sell about 120,000 plug-in vehicles. In the first five months of 2016 the Chinese company has sold about ~33,000 EVs, so the monthly average for the rest of the year will need to exceed 12,000 per month – a level at which no OEM has yet to ever sell in single month. Anywhere.
