BEIJING/SHANGHAI, July 4 (Reuters) - U.S. automaker Tesla sold 93,680 China-made electric vehicles (EVs) in June, up 18.72% from a year earlier, China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data showed on Tuesday.
Sales rose 20.57% from May and were also sharply higher versus June last year when Tesla's factory in Shanghai delivered 78,906 China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles after the city ended a two-month long COVID-19 lockdown.
Chinese rival BYD , with its Dynasty and Ocean series of EVs and petrol-electric hybrid vehicles, saw June sales surge 88.16% year on year to 251,685 vehicles, CPCA data showed.
CPCA estimated total sales, both at home and exports, of new energy passenger vehicles including pure electric and plug-in hybrids at 740,000 units in June, up 30% from a year earlier.
