"20 June:The preliminary global BEV & PHEV & FCEV sales details for May are up-loaded to the Data Center Tool. We still have estimates for some models in Austria, Italy and China and some minor markets are still blank. Otherwise, the tally is complete. The Plug-in vehicle total stands at 467 500 units for May, 202 % higher than in May 2020 (mind the low base) and the 3rdhighest ever recorded. The total light vehicle market increased by 34 % y/y in May (6,83m units), meaning that the EV share jumped to 6,8 % compared to 3,0 % a year ago. All regions had triple digit growth rates for EVs. This is likely to continue through June as well. In the 2ndhalf of the year, growth rates will decline as the numbers compare to the very strong results of 2020 H2. We expect 5,7 million BEV & PHEV to be delivered in 2021, but it could become more."
