From April to July, growth slowed down and volume of July was only 2,000 units more than June.

And in the first quarter of this year, PHEV only accounted for 17% of the total new energy passenger vehicle sales. From July on, sales of BYD and GAC Trumpchi have been increasing while Geely began to add PHEV models to its lineup, which all stimulated the growth of PHEV sales. Therefore, the gap between BEV sales and PHEV sales has been narrowed.
