HKChina's electric vehicle (EV) market experienced a slowdown in August, but top performers BYD and Leapmotor reported increased sales. BYD, the world's largest EV manufacturer, saw a 17.8% year-on-year rise in sales to 440,293 units, driven by new models and strong exports. Leapmotor, known for affordable EVs, achieved an 80.7% sales increase to 103,129 units globally, supported by partnerships like its joint venture with Stellantis. Analysts predict smaller EV companies will struggle with declining sales and rising losses due to intensified competition, potentially forcing some out of the market within one to two years.
