The Atto 3 is constant its spectacular displaying within the Israeli market and is comfortably sitting on the high of the BEV gross sales charts to this point this yr.

In accordance with knowledge from the Israeli Car Importers Affiliation, 10,923 BEVs have been registered to this point this yr in Israel as much as the tip of February. Of those, 4,590 or 42% have been BYD Atto 3s!

Geely, which had been the chief and star performer available in the market earlier than the Atto 3 was launched, continues to do effectively, registering 2,200 items in the identical interval, which is an efficient 20% of the BEV market.

I’m curious to search out out if its gross sales are restricted by provide and if that’s the case, what number of extra items might this little inexpensive BEV promote in Israel and comparable markets if provide was ramped up?

Outdoors the highest 16, different notable names embody Polestar with 57 items, Hongqi with 54, ORA with 48, Voyah with 25, JAC with 24, VW with 6, and LEVC with 5. Tesla was additionally there with 3, however as we all know, Tesla deliveries in sure markets have a tendency to return in at a sure time in 1 / 4. Total, with nearly 11,000 BEVs offered within the first 2 months of the yr there, the Israeli market seems a promising marketplace for BEVs. I’m actually trying ahead to seeing how the market evolves.
