China's passenger car exports are up 80% in June as EV demand grows…

Chinese passenger car exports surged 80% in June 2026 driven by EV demand, while domestic sales fell 26% amid oversupply, price wars, and reduced government EV subsidies. Analysts forecast Chinese exports could reach 10 million vehicles in 2026, with manufacturers now expanding overseas factories and seeking market access in Canada and beyond. Chinese EV makers have hit a domestic ceiling and are now flooding export markets with scale production at fighting prices. If you supply batteries, motors, semiconductors or power electronics to Western automakers, you're about to meet a cost competitor who manufactures at Chinese labour and subsidy rates—and your customer is watching their margin disappear.
