Electric vehicle sales growth eases to 21% in July
Global electric vehicle sales grew 21 per cent year-on-year in July, the slowest rate since January and down from 25 per cent in June, as momentum in plug-in hybrid sales in China slackened, market research firm Rho Motion said on Wednesday. China is the world's biggest car market and accounts for more than half of global EV sales , which in Rho Motion's data include battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Its overall car sales growth slowed in July, with BYD , the world's largest EV maker, recording its third monthly drop in registrations. The relatively muted slowdown in overall EV sales however shows other markets are taking up some of the slack, with European sales for one benefiting from incentives aimed at speeding up decarbonisation. Global sales of battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids rose to 1.6 million units in July, Rho Motion data showed. China's EV sales growth, which averaged 36 per cent a month in the first half, eased to 12 per cent in July as the previously booming market was dampened by a pause in some 2025 government subsidy schemes for EV and plug-in hybrid purchases, Rho Motion data manager Charles Lester said. Chinese sales reached around one million vehicles. European sales surged 48 per cent to about 390,000 units, while North American sales climbed 10 per cent to more than 170,000. Sales in the rest of the world jumped 55 per cent to more than 140,000 vehicles. "Despite regional variations, the overall trajectory for EV adoption in 2025 remains strongly upward," Lester said. Chinese car sales are expected to return to strong growth from August as new funds become available for its subsidy schemes, while a cut in US tax credits for buying or leasing new EVs at the end of September will hurt demand there, Lester added.

China's car sales growth slows in July, with weaker hybrid demand
China's car sales growth slowed in July partly due to weaker demand for hybrids, as regulators in the world's biggest auto market crack down on a price war that has bruised the industry. Sales rose 6.9 per cent from July 2024 to 1.85 million cars, down from an 18.6 per cent year-on-year increase in June, data from the China Passenger Car Association showed on Friday. Sales growth of new energy vehicles, including pure electrics and plug-in hybrids, slowed to 12 per cent from 29.7 per cent in June, but still outsold gasoline cars for the fifth straight month. Demand for hybrids continued to weaken, with sales of plug-in and extended-range hybrids combined falling 3.6 per cent from July last year as advancements in battery technology and charging infrastructure eased range anxiety about pure EVs. The trend boosted EV makers such as Leapmotor, Xiaomi, and Xpeng, which reported record sales in July, but weighed on companies like BYD and Li Auto, which relied on hybrids for the bulk of their sales and profits. BYD saw vehicle sales drop in China for the third consecutive month in July, with a fall of 12 per cent year-on-year, while its share of China's new energy vehicle segment shrank to 27.8 per cent from 35.4 per cent a year ago. Its global deliveries, however, edged higher last month, supported by a surge in overseas shipments that accounted for over 20 per cent of total sales. BYD, China's biggest rival to Tesla and the leader of the industry's price-cutting drive, saw production fall in July for the first time in 17 months. Li Auto, one of the few Chinese EV manufacturers alongside BYD to post a full-year profit, reported a 40 per cent year-on-year sales decline last month. The pioneer in extended-range hybrids recently revamped its pure electric SUV lineup, introducing premium specifications at competitive prices. The auto industry has been central to a campaign by Beijing against excessive competition in industries wrestling with overcapacity and prolonged price wars. China will take steps to stabilise growth in the auto and other sectors, an industry ministry official said last month. Car exports growth accelerated to 25 per cent in July from 23.8 per cent in June, CPCA data showed. The association earlier upgraded its car sales and exports forecasts for this year, citing better than expected shipments in both domestic and overseas markets.

Lanka Court settlement allows release of Chinese EVs
A settlement reached here on Thursday at the Court of Appeal would see Sri Lanka Customs releasing nearly 1,000 Chinese BYD brand electric vehicles held for alleged faulty representation of their engine power. The importer John Keells CG Auto had petitioned the court seeking redress as the Customs continued to hold 991 cars. The importer was accused of making declarations stating a lower motor capacity - 100 kw against actual 150 kw so that they would be charged a lower customs tariff. The Customs tariff for a 100 kw is four million Sri Lankan rupees lower than for a 150 kw powered motor. In the settlement reached at the court, the Customs agreed to the car importer's proposal to provide a bank guarantee for the tariff discrepancy of 3 billion Sri Lankan rupees to get the release of cars pending investigations. At least six of the cars were to be detained to facilitate testing of actual motor capacity. Customs officials had detained the consignment on July 28. Earlier, in a statement, John Keells Group had denied any deliberate misleading of Sri Lanka Customs to lower the excise tax. "The motor power of these vehicles has been verified through test reports issued by BYD in China and further certified by an independent testing body", the company clarified. When Sri Lanka allowed car imports in February this year for the first time in five years, the BYD gained popularity with a big demand for their electric and plug-in hybrid cars. By May, within 3 months, they had gained almost 90 per cent of the electric car market and over 10 per cent of all car sales.
