TrendForce stated that global sales of pure electric vehicles (BEV) in the second quarter of 2024 reached 2.328 million units, an 8% annual increase. Tesla, the market leader, saw a 4.7% decline in sales compared to the same period last year. To stimulate market demand, Tesla introduced price reductions and promotional interest rates in major markets such as China and the United States. BYD (excluding Tang) ranked second, with BEV sales increasing by approximately 20% compared to the same period last year. In addition, BYD demonstrated strong overseas sales performance, exporting over 100,000 units of new energy vehicles including pure electric vehicles in the second quarter. The third to fifth best-selling brands of pure electric vehicles in the second quarter were Volkswagen, SAIC-GM-Wuling, and BMW, with similar market shares. Nio's sales in this quarter grew by 144% compared to the same period last year, rising to seventh place.

TrendForce's statistics show that global sales of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) in the second quarter of 2024 reached 1.439 million units, a 64.2% annual increase, with the top four sales all being Chinese brands. BYD's market share rose to 36.1%, far surpassing Li Auto in second place, while AITO and Changan ranked third and fourth. Volvo Cars and Mercedes-Benz ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, while BMW's PHEV sales in the second quarter remained the same as last year, ranking eighth. Jeep, in tenth place, saw a decrease in sales and ranking, but remains the best-selling PHEV brand in the United States. Currently, only seven PHEV models in the United States are eligible for federal government subsidies, two of which are produced by Jeep.
TrendForce pointed out that the sales changes of brands in the first half of 2024 reflect the positive impact of subsidy policies on new energy vehicles, and it is expected that newly introduced subsidy measures will help Chinese brands further increase sales and market share
