After three years of operations in Europe, Xpeng is now gearing up to enter one of the world's most competitive auto markets, the Chinese EV maker said.

In the January-August period, Tesla sold 624,983 China-made vehicles, up 56.27 percent year-on-year.

Nio will launch the new EC6 on September 15, the Nio Phone on September 21, and hold Nio Day 2023 on December 23, according to the words of the EV maker's president shared by a Weibo user.

Tesla's Shanghai Megafactory is scheduled to begin construction in the third quarter this year and start production in the second quarter of 2024, according to an April announcement.

BYD's sales are still largely coming from China for now, and will further challenge the top players when sales improve in overseas markets, TrendForce said.

Tesla is showcasing the revamped version of its Model 3 at a services trade fair in Beijing, after unveiling the model on September 1 for pre-sale in China.

The Zeekr 001 FR can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.07 seconds, making it the fastest production all-electric vehicle.

With 57,940 units sold in August, the Song family continues to rank as the top-selling BYD model, up 36.33 percent year-on-year and up 13.04 percent from July.

BYD sold 145,627 BEVs in August, up 76.14 percent year-on-year, and 128,459 PHEVs, up 40.70 percent.

Nio's lower deliveries in August may be related to a brief production suspension of its F1 plant in late July through early August for upgrades.
