In July 2025, China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) exports maintained strong momentum, reaching over 225,000 units—a more than 100% year-on-year increase and a 10% rise from June. NEVs were the main driver of the country’s automobile export growth, accounting for a significant share of the 575,000 total vehicles exported in the month. Domestically, NEV production and sales hit 1.243 million and 1.262 million units respectively, up 26.3% and 27.4% year-on-year, representing 48.7% of all new car sales. From January to July, China produced 8.232 million NEVs and sold 8.22 million, both rising by nearly 40% compared to the same period last year, capturing 45% of total new car sales—underscoring the sector’s robust growth trajectory and expanding global competitiveness.
