Data from CAAM show that in August 2026, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 1.643 million units, up 17.8% year on year, accounting for 60.6% of total vehicle sales. Of these, exports were 526,000 units, up about 130% year on year, while domestic sales were 1.118 million units, down 4.6% year on year, intensifying the divergence between domestic and external demand. During the same period, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and nine other departments issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for intelligent connected new energy vehicles, proposing that by 2030 new energy vehicles account for 70% of new passenger vehicle sales and 40% of new commercial vehicle sales, and strengthening capacity monitoring, mergers and reorganizations, and supervision of competitive order, which will continue to affect the pace of domestic consolidation and overseas expansion in the industry.
