China’s new-energy passenger-vehicle exports totaled 582,000 in October, setting a new high for a second month in a row and lifting the category’s share of overseas passenger-vehicle shipments.
The China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) figures show October’s tally was 144.7% above the same month in 2025 and 3.9% higher than September. New-energy passenger vehicles made up 62.8% of all passenger-vehicle exports, a 20-percentage-point increase from October 2025.
Across the broader passenger-vehicle category, exports reached 928,000, up 68.5% from a year earlier, Anadolu Agency reported.
Anadolu Agency linked the shift toward electric alternatives to higher oil prices associated with the war in the Middle East. It also cited demand and China’s manufacturing scale as factors supporting Chinese new-energy vehicle makers’ overseas competitiveness.
