Key Points:

When asked about vehicle-to-home (V2H) energy systems, whereby vehicle owners can leverage their BEV battery as a backup power source, 42% of vehicle shoppers reported never having heard of the concept.

TrendForce further notes that China remains the largest market for NEVs, commanding about 60% of the global market share.

Key Points:

TrendForce further notes that China remains the largest market for NEVs, commanding about 60% of the global market share.
However, growth is slowing down due to a high base effect, and limited sales growth in other regions cannot compensate for the gap left by the Chinese market.
In 2023, Tesla continues to lead BEV rankings with a 19.9% market share, closely followed by BYD, which narrowed the sales gap with Tesla to 248,000 units.
TrendForce believes that BYD has the potential to challenge Tesla’s dominance in the BEV market this year.
