“Overall EV sales remained sluggish, with retail sales down 5 per cent in April, preliminary data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) showed.”
DISPUTED
The evidence provides contradictory data for April retail sales. One source states overall passenger vehicle retail sales were down 20% year-on-year, another says they were down 5.7%, and a third states that NEV (New Energy Vehicle) retail sales actually increased by 33.9% year-on-year. The claim of a 5% decrease is not clearly corroborated and is contradicted by the 33.9% increase in NEVs.
