# China’s EV exports smash another record as Southeast Asia goes electric

China’s EV export machine shows no signs of slowing down, and demand from Southeast Asia is a big part of it.

China shipped a record $9.2 billion worth of electric vehicles overseas in May, according to new data from Ember. That’s up 49% year over year and just ahead of the previous monthly record of $9.1 billion set in April.

China exported around 448,000 electric passenger vehicles in May, including roughly 279,000 BEVs and 169,000 PHEVs. That’s a significant jump from 2020, when the country’s EV exports were worth less than $1 billion a month.

These figures are another reminder of just how dominant China has become in EV manufacturing. Chinese automakers are producing EVs at a massive scale and increasingly finding buyers far beyond their home market.
