According to the South China Morning Post citing data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), Chinese brands sold 582,000 pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles outside the Chinese mainland in October, a year-on-year increase of 144.7%, surpassing the record of 558,000 units set in September. This statistic includes both vehicles exported from China and those manufactured at overseas factories of Chinese brands, rather than representing solely exports from within mainland China.
