54% Of Total xEV Battery Capacity Deployed in June Falls On China

In June, China alone required some 6.1 GWh of batteries for new xEVs.

Adamas Intelligence just released another interesting teaser of its EV Battery Capacity Monthly report about the passenger xEV (BEV/PHEV/HEV) battery deployment in June 2019.

We already know that out of 11.25 GWh deployed globally, some 91% or about 10.2 GWh falls on BEVs.

When analyzing the data more closely, it turns out that 6.1 GWh (or 54%) out of 11.25 GWh globally was for xEVs in China alone. Chinese xEV battery capacity deployment increased by 115% year-over-year!

The top-selling model in June – BAIC EU-Series (at almost 18,000 sales), was responsible for about 806 MWh of batteries according to Adamas.

“In June 2019, 806 MWh of battery capacity was deployed in newly-sold BJEV EU-Series battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”) in China, more than double the 349 MWh deployed in the second-ranked BYD Yuan and the 315 MWh deployed in the third-ranked Changan Eado,

On the back of rising sales in China, the Tesla Model 3 saw 275 MWh of battery capacity deployed in June 2019, putting it in fourth place in China by capacity deployed and making it the only foreign-made EV in China’s top ten.

In fifth place, 229 MWh of battery capacity was deployed in newly-sold BYD e5 BEVs in June 2019 which, along with the ninth-ranked BYD Qin BEV (not shown in figure below) give BYD three EVs among the top ten in China by battery capacity deployed.”
