Otherwise, lets jump into my forecast for the best selling fully electric vehicle brands of 2019.It could be more than 400,000 units, or significantly less than that.It will depend on so many factors (production ramp up, Chinese tariffs, Chinese Gigafactory, Standard Range launch and availability).Add to this number some 100,000 Model S X deliveries, with the slight sales drop of the first quarters of the year being compensated by a strong Q4 2019 once the production of the revised flagships is in full swing.
Considering BAIC beat the 2018 target (150,000) and still has some 20,000 orders to fulfill, it shouldnt be too hard for the company to beat the new target. ![]() Best Electric Cars 2019 Upgrade Coming ThisAnyway, I believe the Yuan EV which is said to have a battery upgrade coming this year, to almost 60 kWh will be a big hit, making it not only the best selling BYD, but also possibly the first of the brand to cross the 100,000 annual delivery milestone. Nissan should heavily discount the Leaf 40 kWh until then, trying not to lose too much ground. The hatchback could possibly reach some 15,000 sales per month, and with the help of the Chinese operations (Sylphy EV), we should see Nissan recover ground to the frontrunners. Demand for the current version is still growing, so expect continued growth throughout the first half of the year, with the second half seeing the new Zoe hitting 10,000 unitsmonth. Also of interest, the Kwid EV is said to land this year in China, but it probably wont have time to deliver large volumes. Assuming it can get enough batteries, sales numbers should jump significantly this year, allowing the company to achieve a top 10 spot. Although, its current sales champion, the eQ city car, could suffer from the competition from younger and more attractive models. On one hand, the new E500 will try to grab a piece of the hot selling compact crossover category. With a 58kWh battery, this last model could even be warmly received in a number of overseas markets, as there is nothing like it now or even in the near future the future Rivian R1T is more of a high-end lifestyle pickup and the future Tesla pickup truck is said to be a Blade Runner full-size pickup, limiting the sales potential outside North America. The Sol E20X will hit dealerships in the second half of the year. Expect this model to be made in large numbers, as Volkswagen will need every EV it can get its hands on in order to comply with the 2019 quotas. With current model specs being regularly updated, expect Hawtai to remain competitive and continue growing, even if it wont be at the same pace as some of its competitors.
