[Dormant] Electric Vehicles

I know — there are more Chinese EV startups than days in the month. It’s definitely hard to get a good vision of the Chinese market, even with Jose Pontes’ superb monthly China EV sales reports, but there are a handful of these Chinese EV companies that are really working to make their mark globally, and it’s particularly fun to track their progress. Zeekr has quickly risen up the food chain and into that world, as well as BYD (which you can’t call a startup, of course, but leads the market), NIO, and Xpeng.

The latest news from Zeekr is that it has reached 300,000 sales worldwide. That’s quite an achievement, and I expect it will double that figure in the next couple of years. It only took the company 33 months (fewer than 3 years) to reach this milestone after delivering its first vehicle. Zeekr says it achieved this 300,000 cumulative sales total on August 1.
