Unlike Volkswagen, GM, Ford, Hyundai, Toyota and other major automakers, which were deeply affected by the shortage of automotive chips, resulting in a significant decline in production and sales, electric car manufacturer Tesla last year. Production and sales have increased significantly year on year, approaching one million units.
TrueCar, a research institute, predicts that Tesla’s rapid growth momentum will continue this year. They will deliver 44,525 electric vehicles in March this year, an increase of 21,475 units from 23,050 units in March last year, a year-on-year increase of 93% and nearly doubling.
Judging from the data predicted by the agency, Tesla, which is expected to grow by 93% year-on-year, will be the only major automaker with an increase in global sales in March.
Among other manufacturers, Volkswagen’s sales in March are expected to decline by 43% year-on-year, Nissan is expected to decline by 41.3% year-on-year, Honda is expected to decline by 30.6%, BMW, Ford, Toyota’s sales are expected to decline by more than 20% year-on-year, and GM is expected to decline by 16.5%. , Hyundai Motor slipped 11.4%.
On the whole, the agency expects global sales of 1.247 million electric vehicles in March this year, a significant increase from 1.0579 million in February, but far less than the 1.605 million in the same period last year.
However, Tesla did not announce its sales in March, nor did it announce the monthly production and delivery of electric vehicles. As for their sales in March this year, can they nearly double year-on-year as expected by the agency? They won’t know a thing or two until they release their first-quarter production and delivery figures.
