China's Booming EV Market Leads Global Sales, But BYD Dominates as Competition Rises
-
China has the world's largest and most competitive EV market, accounting for nearly 70% of global EV sales in 2022. Key players are BYD, Nio, and Li Auto.

BYD is the world's top EV seller thanks to vertical integration, its own battery tech, and global expansion plans. It aims to surpass 3 million in sales in 2023.

Nio targets premium EVs, focusing on design and user experience innovations like battery swapping and AI tech. But it reported major losses in 2022.
-
Li Auto sold over 376,000 plug-in hybrid EVs in 2022, a 180% jump. It plans continued growth with new models and investments in self-driving.

Over 100 EV makers now compete in China's booming but crowded market. Industry consolidation is expected as competition rises and growth slows.
