CleanTechnica: The Big ICE Meltdown — May’s China EV Sales Report

\n
\n

The only thing that grew in May? Pure electrics. Despite having fewer incentives, BEVs were up 4% YoY, to 637,000 sales. This meant that BEVs scored a record 42% BEV share in China!

\n

Adding PHEVs (21% share) to the tally meant that in May a record 63% of all cars sold in China had a plug!

The proportion of new pure electric cars sold at the beginning of 2026:\n- Norway, 98 percent\n- Denmark, 80 percent\n- Finland, almost 50 percent\n- Sweden, 40 percent

\n
\n\n

Canada: roughly 12%

At this point Mark Carney is not looking like much of a leader on combatting climate change.
