Chinese electric car brands gaining market share in Europe rapidly.

Chinese electric car brands have more than doubled their share of the European market in less than two years, as China aims to lead the transition away from petrol and diesel vehicles. The UK is the largest market in Europe for Chinese electric cars, accounting for almost a third of sales in 2023 so far. Chinese carmakers sold almost the same number of electric cars in Europe in the first seven months of 2023 as they did in the entirety of 2022.
