China exported 222,000 electric vehicles in September, nearly double the same month last year, as automakers turn outward amid fierce domestic competition. Exports edged down from August’s 224,000 units, but the shift underscores Beijing’s push for global EV dominance. Domestically, sales grew 11.2% year-on-year, though that was slower than August’s 15%. BYD flagged strong UK demand but noted domestic margin pressure. Automakers are ramping exports to Africa and Middle East amid tariff headwinds in EU/US.
