According to the latest report released by the market research agency Adamas Intelligence, Tesla is estimated to deliver 190,255 vehicles worldwide in September this year, setting a new delivery record again. The report also provided interesting data. If calculated according to battery capacity, Tesla’s global delivery of electricity in September this year alone was 13.9 GWh, with an average of 73 kWh per vehicle.
This is mainly because some Tesla models are equipped with batteries of up to 100kWh, while Model 3 and Model Y models are typically at 60kWh and up to 80kWh. Tesla does not communicate the exact battery capacity of its models, which varies for specific versions and changes from time to time with new battery types and even software updates.
The report states that Tesla has delivered a cumulative total of 1.848 million pure electric vehicles worldwide from January 2021 to September 2022, deploying 132.9 GWh of batteries, which averages out to about 71.9 kWh per vehicle.
Adamas Intelligence also reports figures for BYD, the second largest pure electric vehicle manufacturer, which also offers plug-in hybrids (the sales mix between BEVs and PHEVs is about 50/50 this year, while BEVs account for 45 percent in 2021).
BYD delivered about 192,648 BEV / PHEV vehicles during September and 1,769,000 vehicles between January 2021 and September 2022. Meanwhile, its battery deployment is estimated at 6.7 GWh (34.8 kWh per vehicle) and 65.6 GWh (37.1 kWh per vehicle), respectively.
