The combined total of light-duty all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles sold in China in 2018 was over 1 million, or 8.1% of the light-duty vehicle market there, according to the US Department Of Energy data.
This compared to 386,000 plug-in vehicles sold in Europe and 361,000 plug-in vehicles in the United States – about 2% of the market in both places.
Europe’s plug-in vehicle sales have been nearly equally split between EV and PHEV since 2015, while more EV than PHEV have been sold in China and the United States.
