Electric vehicle demand rises despite chip crisis
Electric vehicle sales, which increased by 114 percent compared to August last year, broke a record according to August 2021 data. All-electric BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) models make up the vast majority of electric vehicles, which make up approximately 7 percent of the total automobile sales with 516,000 units.
In the shared data, it is stated that 365.000 BEVs were sold and the rate of sales exceeded 67 percent on average as of January 2021.
Despite the chip crisis and the production problems in the pandemic process, increasing sales seem to dominate the automotive industry of electric vehicles in a short time.
Analysts predict that worldwide electric vehicle sales will hit double-digit percentages for the first time by December 2021, with million units sold.
The Wuling Mini EV model broke its own record by being on the bestseller list for 2 months in a row. 41,188 units of the model, which took the first place for the first time, were sold.
