China’s Electric Vehicles Just Hit 66.7 Percent of New Car Sales in a Single Week, the Highest Reading on Record, and Petrol Vehicles Are Officially Falling Out of the Mainland Market

Electric vehicles captured 66.7 percent of new car sales in mainland China during the first week of June, the highest weekly EV penetration reading in the country's history, up from 62.9 percent in May, with EV deliveries reaching more than 152,000 units between June 1 and June 7, an 8 percent increase from the same week in May, and the cumulative trend confirms that internal-combustion-engine vehicles have crossed the structural-decline threshold in the world's largest auto market.
