Read original articleThe article from CleanTechnica provides an overview of the leading global electric vehicle (EV) brands and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) based on recent sales data, with a particular focus on November's performance. BYD remains the top-selling EV brand globally, although its year-over-year sales have declined, mainly due to a drop in plugin hybrid sales. Despite this slowdown, BYD still holds a dominant market share, roughly double what the author predicts any single OEM will maintain long-term (around 10%). Tesla holds the second position but is experiencing falling sales, while Geely achieved a record month with six models each selling over 10,000 units, signaling it may surpass Tesla as the second-largest EV brand by 2027. Tesla's upcoming models, such as the Cybercab and Roadster, are unlikely to significantly boost its sales volume to maintain its current ranking.
Several other Chinese brands also posted record sales in November, including AITO and Fang Cheng Bao, which primarily operate within China
