China EV DataTracker is a tool for EV consultants, investors, and journalists to understand the Chinese EV market. It contains historical sales data for all brands in China and real-time updated latest macro data regarding electric vehicles and the battery industry in China.
It includes data about 114 brands, 1,142 models, and detailed cities in over 1,000 Chinese cities.
We at CarNewsChina have covered the China auto market since 2011. Our team did this in their free time and out of pure passion. However, in the last three years, the amount of news from the Chinese EV market has grown exponentially, and it became difficult to cover all the important stories as our readers were always used to.
We knew we would need to go full-time to keep up with the rapidly evolving China EV market. However, we didn’t want to implement a paywall. The solution was to develop a tool for our readers that would bring them value and enable them to support us by purchasing membership.
I spent the last three months creating the tool, so I want to apologize to our core readers for not being more active in CNC writing articles. My colleagues did a great job in CNC newsroom, and EV DataTracker was worth it.
EV DataTracker
EV DataTracker launched on October 16 and offers a real-time updated market dashboard with critical information about the market. It shows the battery volume installed into EVs last month, EV penetration, best-selling brand and EV and dozens of other information. All data have a minimum of three years’ history. Brand sales data have a history back to 2007; however, most of the brands started deliveries no more than five years ago.
EV Database
The EV DataTracker is accompanied by the China EV Database, which contains all-electric vehicles sold on the Chinese market and their specifications, prices, pictures, etc. Unlike DataTracker, the Database is free for our readers.
Use cases
If you want to see sales breakdowns in particular cities, China EV DataTracker tracks registrations in over 1,000 cities in China. You can see EV-only sales in each city and add ICE cars if you are interested.
One of the exciting features is the exclusive monthly newsletter State of China EV Market, which summarizes and puts into context the EV, battery, and all other released data.
Moreover, you can set notification so you receive email when new data are publish. For example if you are interested in weekly insurance registrations, you set notification alert and once published, you will receive the data ahead of others.
China EV DataTracker also allows the display of sales of ICE brands. For example, if you want to see how German legacy automakers such as Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, etc., are doing in China, the filter allows you to display only those and hide the rest of the brands.
There are dozens of other functions, so if you want to understand the China EV Market and support CarNewsChina, you can become a member here.

BYD is ICE and EV together. This data is so wrong
Hi Peter, BYD ceased production of ICE vehicles in 2022. Now they only sell plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and all-electric (BEV) cars.
Great work. But, yes – EV’s and PHEV, even cars with just range extender engines are not clean EV’s. It would be great if definitions regarding this would be clear and understandable. Or perhaps they already are here. Haven’t had time to study it.
Hi Knut! We use this terminology to avoid confusion: EV = BEV + PHEV.
There are so many names for the main three categories of non-ICE cars.
EV, BEV, EREV, PHEV, REEV, REX, and many more. It would be nice to have just the main three – isn’t that possible? EV, EREV, PHEV?
Even different countries have their own names and signs.
1) EV: 100% electric
2) EREV: electric, but with an ICE polluting source to charge batteries
3) PHEV: Basically, an ICE polluting car, with a smaller battery package that may be charged like an EV and used in a limited way.
Just asking.
Hi Knut! Yes, we use only EV, BEV, PHEV and EREV. EV = BEV+ PHEV.
EREV is a type of PHEV (parallel PHEV), so we include EREV in PHEV numbers.
Okay Jiri, I respect this, and will try to remember it. Thanks.
EREV is serial not parallel hybrid.
Hi Paul, thanks and sorry for confusion! Of course EREV is a series hybrid, seems I was tired when writing that, didn’t sleep much days before launching EV DataTracker.
But EREV (REEV) models have no “P”, i.e. plug-in capability, right?
An example would be all the Li Auto models, up to the recent introduction of their first a BEV.
EREVs are a special type of PHEV, so they can be plugged in. In fact, EREV is more EV then PHEV as ICE can’t directly power the wheels there.
Hi,
Is it possible download a month-end spreadsheet for all brands and their respective marques?
If possible, could you please summarize as have not found out how to do this yet.
Look really interesting.
Many thanks,
Richard
Hi Richard, currently this is not possible, but we can add export to CSV feature. Please email me your account, we can give you early access to this as we would need to test it before shipping the feature to production.
That is pretty awesome, well done!
Thanks!
