U.S. electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla was the best-selling imported passenger car brand in Korea in the first half of this year, capturing 30 percent of the market, industry data showed Friday. According to the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association (KAIDA), 184,032 imported passenger cars were newly registered in the January-June period, up 33.2 percent from a year earlier. Tesla topped the list with 56,139 units, accounting for 30.5 percent of total imports. Its market share surged from 13.9 percent a year earlier, while sales soared 192 percent, allowing the U.S. EV maker to overtake German luxury brands. BMW ranked second with a 21.3 percent market share, followed by Mercedes-Benz at 16.2 percent. Both brands saw their shares decline by more than 5 percentage points from a year earlier. Chinese EV maker BYD came in fourth with a 6.3 percent share. In June, 38,059 imported passenger cars were newly registered, up 27.5 percent from a year earlier, driven by strong

Tesla posted one of its strongest quarters yet, but BYD still managed to reclaim the global EV sales crown.

The automaker saw a massive spike in second quarter sales despite rocky demand for EVs in the U.S.

Deliveries outstripped production, suggesting Tesla has cleared some inventory.

Ford reported a 10.3% decline in US new vehicle sales for the second quarter, selling 549,200 vehicles compared with 612,095 a year earlier. Pure EV sales plunged 40.7% year on year.

Tesla just released its second-quarter delivery and production report, showing that the automaker is starting to recover after a particularly brutal sales year in 2025. The company said that it produced a total of 451,758 vehicles between April and June of this year, including 442,936 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, as well as 8,822 "other vehicles" like the Cybertruck and the Tesla Semi. (The company discontinued the Model S and X earlier this year.) That represents about a 10 percent increase compared to the second quarter of 2025, when the company produced 410,244 vehicles. Tesla also said that it delivered a total of 480,126 vehicles, i … Read the full story at The Verge.

The company delivered more than 480,000 EVs globally, seemingly thanks to geographic expansion and cheaper versions of the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck.

Price cuts helped the electric automaker rebound in Europe in the second quarter, offsetting declines in the United States.

The company now expects to ship a few thousand more vehicles by the end of 2026 than it previously expected, after launching its R2 SUV last month.

BYD Korea is expected to pivot its strategic focus toward plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to offset its exclusion from the government’s electric vehicle (EV) subsidy program. The Chinese EV maker recently rose to the fourth spot in the nation’s imported car sales, behind Tesla, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but the momentum has hit an unexpected snag, as its all-electric models became ineligible for subsidies starting Wednesday. However, the carmaker is widely forecast to counter the disadvantage by aggressively expanding its PHEV lineup, anchored by its strategically priced Sealion 6 PHEV. According to the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, BYD Korea failed to win the subsidy for its passenger car business here due to its weak profile in supply chain contribution, a category given greater weight under the government's revised evaluation criteria. Having entered Korea's passenger vehicle market only in January last year, the company scored poorly in that category. Under the

Chinese Tesla challengers Leapmotor and Zeekr, banking on their latest battery and self-driving technologies, bucked a downward trend in domestic electric vehicle sales with record deliveries last month, ratcheting up pressure on the US carmaker amid weak consumer sentiment towards big-ticket items. Stellantis-backed Leapmotor delivered 93,376 electric vehicles (EVs) last month, up 94.5 per cent year on year, as it rewrote its sales record for a second consecutive month. Zeekr, a premium EV unit...

The new 2026 bZ has emerged as one of America’s best-selling EVs, outselling several of Toyota’s popular SUVs.

GM’s best-selling Chevy Equinox EV took a hit after sales dropped 41% in the first half of 2026. The new Chevy Bolt EV and Cadillac’s luxury electric SUVs helped soften the blow.

General Motors’ second-quarter US sales fell just over four percent as demand for its all-electric vehicles and Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks declined year over year. The Detroit automaker reported selling 714,896 vehicles from April through June, down from 746,588 units during the same period in 2025. First-half sales came in at roughly 1,300,000 units, down […] This story continues at The Next Web

The IONIQ 5 continues to rack up impressive sales, topping 20,000 in the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, Hyundai’s three-row electric SUV is gaining traction, with sales up 380%.

BYD delivered 557,090 fully electric vehicles in the second quarter of 2026, according to figures compiled by Bloomberg, putting the Chinese automaker back on top of the global battery-electric race. Tesla is expected to report around 396,500 deliveries for the same quarter — a gap of more than 160,000 units in BYD’s favor.

When Choi, a 35-year-old office worker living in Korea, started looking for her next car, she did not expect BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) brand, to make her shortlist. “I've wanted an electric vehicle, but domestic models are just too expensive,” Choi said, adding that rising fuel prices first sparked her interest in EVs. Her attention later turned to Chinese brands after reading about China's rapid adoption of EVs and how it helped cushion the country from recent oil-price shocks linked to the conflict in the Middle East. “I still have some biases against Chinese products, but with so many people driving them in China, I figured they can't just be cheap junk,” she said. “They’ve probably spent years developing the technology and gone through plenty of trial and error.” Choi’s case reflects a subtle shift underway: Chinese EV makers are stepping up their presence in Korea, one of the world’s most competitive automotive markets, and are now gaining traction. The push comes as

The world’s top-selling automaker is feeling the impact of rising gas prices. Toyota reported its fourth straight month of lower global sales in May, as EVs continued to drive growth.

Micron Technology briefly surpassed Meta and Tesla in market valuation on Thursday, closing the week at roughly $1.27 trillion. The stock has soared over 236% in the past month alone, reaching $1,132 a share. Before mid-2025, it spent years below $100. The surge followed blockbuster third-quarter earnings. Revenue quadrupled year on year to $41.45 billion. […] This story continues at The Next Web

The design of the luxury carmaker's first all-electric vehicle, the Luce, was heavily criticised.

The Swedish automaker, owned by the Chinese parent Geely, will not be allowed to sell EVs in the U.S. model year 2027 onward.

Toyota and BYD are aggressively targeting Korea's niche plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) market, a move experts and industry officials view as a highly viable strategy to capture transitional demand and capitalize on Hyundai Motor Group’s absence in the sector. Local customers have not favored PHEVs due largely to their vague positioning between traditional hybrid cars and all-electric vehicles. PHEVs are also excluded from government subsidies here, making them compete at a distinct price disadvantage against typical electric vehicles (EVs). While a standard hybrid self-charges and relies primarily on a gasoline engine, PHEVs utilize a larger battery that requires external charging to deliver all-electric driving. According to data from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources, PHEVs accounted for just 0.7 percent of the Korean passenger vehicle market between January and May, with 4,739 PHEVs newly registered. This represents a 24.6 percent decline compared to the same
