BEIJING (Reuters) – Sales of U.S. automaker Tesla’s China-made electric vehicles rose 19.2% in September from a year earlier, data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) showed on Wednesday. Deliveries of China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles were up 1.9% from the previous month.
The company has already announced quarterly global deliveries but had not detailed sales in China. Chinese rival BYD, with its Dynasty and Ocean lineups of EVs and plug-in hybrids, recorded its best month with a 45.56% year-on-year increase in passenger vehicle sales to 417,603 units in September.
The 33,012 BYD cars, or 7.9% of the total sales, were sold in overseas market, BYD’s filing showed.
