How a Compact Chinese EV Overtook Tesla as the Global Electric Car Leader

In early 2021, the Tesla Model 3 lost its crown as the world’s best-selling electric vehicle to the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, a small and affordable Chinese hatchback. Launched in July 2020, the Mini EV’s explosive popularity is driven largely by its ultra-low price—starting at just over $4,200—making it accessible to middle-income buyers and young people in China’s urban centers. The car offers essential features like ABS, parking sensors, and air conditioning, with a modest 17.4 horsepower motor and a top speed of 100 km/h, ideal for city driving. The Mini EV benefits from government subsidies and a well-established electric vehicle culture in China. Its compact size, ease of charging, and efficient production—backed by a joint venture with General Motors—have helped it capture a massive market share. While unlikely to appear in Europe or the US due to speed and style preferences, the Mini EV is set to dominate China’s electric vehicle market for years to come.
