Here are the best-selling electric cars in the world

Here are the best-selling electric cars in the world

2020 saw the Tesla Model 3 triumph, but in the first two months of 2021, a Chinese brand dominates the ranking of the best-selling electric cars. Here are names, numbers and scenarios

The best-selling electric car in the world is not the Tesla Model 3. At the top of the charts, at least for the first two months of 2021, is the Chinese Hong Guang Mini Ev. In second position Tesla Model 3, which is instead the best-selling of 2020. All the details.

THE NUMBERS OF THE CHINESE HONG GUANG MINI EV

In January and February 2021 it is the Chinese Hong Guang Mini Ev, the result of a partnership between the Chinese state company Saic Motor, Wuling Motors and General Motors, the best-selling car in the world. The super compact made in China was registered last January in over 36 thousand units and in February in just over 20 thousand units.

THE NUMBERS OF TESLA

Numbers lower than those recorded by Tesla model 3, which totaled 21,500 registrations for the month of January and 13,700 registrations for the month of February.

A VERY LOW PRICE

The cost is certainly in favor of the Chinese: list price of 28,800 yuan, which corresponds to just over 3,600 euros. Tesla, on the other hand, has a cost that exceeds 33,900 euros.

THE RANKING OF 2020

Tesla has therefore been dethroned, at least for the moment. In 2020, in fact, the Tesla Model 3 is, according to the data published by the EV Sales portal and reported by Repubblica , the best-selling electric car in the world. The Chinese model (the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV) and the Renault Zoe follow. Fourth place for the Tesla Model Y and in fifth position we find the Hyundai Kona Electric.

The other cars , which close the top ten, are the Volkswagen ID.3; the Nissan Leaf; the Audi e-tron; the Baojun E-series; and the Great Wall Ora R1.
