While BYD continues to lead, its grip is weakening. Last year, it accounted for 79.7 per cent of all Chinese EV registrations. This has fallen to 70.9 per cent in 2025, as rival brands make inroads.

Excluding BYD, 15 Chinese brands are now active in Singapore: Avatr, Chery, Deepal, Dongfeng, EvEasy, GAC, Geely, Great Wall, MG, Maxus, Neta, Seres, Skyworth, Xpeng and Zeekr. Together, they sold 2,264 EVs from January to July, compared with 1,581 EVs sold by 11 such brands over the whole of 2024.
