Data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) shows that new energy vehicles (NEVs), including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), accounted for 65.2% of the 1.54 million cars sold in mainland China last month, reaching a new historical high and surpassing the previous month's record of 65.1%. Despite a generally sluggish automotive market, the Iran conflict has prompted consumers to shift from gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles, driving this growth.
