Best Selling Chinese Plug-In Cars For The First Half Of 2015

According to the ChinaAutoWeb, Chinese manufacturers produced some 76,233 NEVs (New Energy Vehicles) by the end of June, and sold nearly as many (72,711, up 240% year-over-year).

Around 25,000 were produced in June, which is a pretty strong surge.

Numbers includes different vehicles, out of which passenger cars had 50,627 deliveries - 29,743 BEVs and 20,884 PHEVs.

BYD on the top of the list isn't a surprise. In the second place are BAIC' BEVs - we believe three models gathered as one (is that fair?). Sadly, we don't have data for cars imported to China like Tesla Model S.
