In addition to BEV, PHEV (HEV) are also a good choice for your imported models
At present, in order to cope with the energy crisis and environmental protection, countries such as China have introduced types of battery electric vehicles (BEV)and plug in hybrid vehicles(PHEV). Many countries have also imported BEV in China, but as tariffs are raised, the import advantage of BEV is tilted toward PHEV.
Statistics show that European imports from BYD, BAIC, Geely and other Chinese automakers are tilting from BEVs to PHEVs. In the third quarter, hybrid vehicles (plug-in and hybrid) accounted for 18 percent of total European car sales by Chinese automakers, doubling the 9 percent share in the first quarter of this year, while the share of BEVs dropped from 62 percent to 58 percent.
Although the European Union has imposed tariffs of up to 45.3 percent on Chinese BEVs since the end of October, hybrids are excluded from the tariffs, prompting imports of hybrids into the European market.
In addition to Europe, China's hybrid vehicles in North America, South America, the Middle East and other emerging markets import growth is obvious. For example, from January to July, the sales of Chinese plug-in hybrid vehicles in Brazil, Mexico, Kazakhstan and Turkey soared, of which Brazil surpassed Belgium to become the largest country in China's exports of plug-in hybrid vehicles; Mexico and the United Arab Emirates doubled their export volume.
