Wuling Hong Guang MINI EV sales keep rising

Great news today!

Last month Wuling sold 20.150 units of the super-affordable Hong Guang MINI EV and more than doubled its sales figures.

This affordable electric car that only had its first full sales month in July is already the second most sold electric car in China this year with more than 37.696 units delivered, only behind the uncontested Tesla Model 3.

Next year Wuling is expected to produce and sell half-million units of this electric car…
