According to a report by Clean Technica, the global sales volume of electric cars reached 1.2 million units in January 2026. This figure was a 6% decrease from the same period last year (year-on-year/yoy).

Despite the global electric car market starting to slow down, the Tesla Model Y continues to sell well, with sales of 53,074 million units, equivalent to 4.5% of total global sales in January 2026.

"The Tesla Model Y started the year by maintaining its first position. However, its sales decreased by 7% year-on-year (yoy)," Clean Technica wrote in its report on Thursday (5/3/2026).

The next positions are occupied by Chinese-made cars, namely the Xiaomi YU7 with 37,892 units and the Geely Xingyuan or EX2 with 30,654 units.

According to Clean Technica, these two cars have not yet been able to displace the dominance of the Model Y. This is because the crossover from Xiaomi is only sold in China, so its sales are limited. Meanwhile, the hatchback from Geely has just started entering the export market.

"Despite having the potential to compete directly with Tesla, the conditions for such competition are likely to only truly occur in 2027," Clean Technica wrote.

Therefore, the Tesla Model Y is expected to achieve the title of the best-selling electric car for the fifth consecutive year this year.

Here is the full list of the 10 best-selling electric car models in the world in January 2026:

Tesla Model Y: 53,074 units
Xiaomi YU7: 37,892 units
Geely Xingyuan/EX2: 30,654 units
AITO M7 (BEV+PHEV): 26,454 units
BYD Song/Seal U (BEV+PHEV): 26,608 units
BYD Seagull/Dolphin Surf: 19,167 units
NIO ES8/EL8: 17,665 units
FCB Tai 7: 17,119 units
Li i6: 16,883 units
Tesla Model 3: 14,745 units
