Best Seller in November
  
Record Edition - Getting Hotter Every Month

Another amazing month in the Chinese EV Market, this time above 25.000 units, a new world record, with YTD sales now above the 150.000 units, also a global record...As result, the EV  Share rose again to 0.9%, an incredible result if you consider that last year ended at 0.25% and in 2013 it was just 0.09%!

Not only the numbers surged fourfold regarding the same month last year, but November marked the fourth consecutive record-breaking month! 



This raises the question: "How high will this market go in December? 30.000? 35?"

The ranking is also changing rapidly, with several changes:

* The Best Seller in November was again the Kandi Panda EV, with 4.153 units, a slight drop from the previous 4.581 units, but still enough for a Third consecutive Best Seller of the Month trophy and to reach the runner-up position, changing places with the BAIC E-Series EV;

* The BYD Tang climbed another position, it is now #4, thanks to a record 4.049 units, the best monthly result ever achieved by a BYD model;

* Despite dropping to #4, the Zotye Cloud EV managed to score a new personal record last month, by registering 3.730 units;

As for the YTD leader and once 13 consecutive times Monthly Best Seller, BYD Qin, it was only #6 in November, immediately behind the BAIC E-Series EV.      

BYD Tang: It's pedal to the metal - Time!
With sales this hot, there were also other models breaking records:

- JAC is profiting the work done on its facelifted i EV, having reached another monthly record: 1.452 units

- Also a new record for the Chery eQ, now with 923 sales;

- Chery's older electric sibling, the QQ EV, managed to reach a year best, by registering 710 units;

- But no other carmaker has been so impressive as BYD: Besides the aforementioned Tang SUV, an additional three BYD's scored monthly records, with the upmarket Denza finally posting a decent result, with 715 units, the taxi-friendly e5 scoring 379 sales and the T3 commercial van doing 65 registrations.

Volvo S60L Plug-In

There are two new models on the radar, the first 181 Volvo S60L Plug-In have found finally its way into the wild, a promising result for the swedish carmaker, especially considering that it has no direct comptitor in the market.

The second new EV isn't actually new, but thanks to some tweaks and a name change, we could count the Zotye TT EV as a new addition, especially considering that it sold 946 units last month, so it's no longer a compliance SUV, but with it, Zotye wants to have a competitor to the upcoming BYD Yuan mini-SUV. dephth


Finally, looking at the manufacturers ranking, BYD leads the way, with 34%, followed by #2 Kandi, with 14%, Zotye (13%) and BAIC (10%, down 1%) in Fourth.
