Registration data lags behind sales\/deliveries, by at least several weeks, but can be used as a proxy of sales, especially since not all sales numbers are publicly available (specifically on a monthly basis).<\/em><\/p>\n A comparison with the previous report for the January-July period\u00a0allows us to calculate the number of new registrations in August, which amounted to almost 99,000 (up 53 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n The Automotive News<\/em> article says that Tesla noted 437,944 new registrations (46 percent more than a year ago) during the eight-month period. The non-Tesla BEV registrations (calculated as the difference between the total and Tesla) amounted to 316,867 (up about 98 percent year-over-year) and 42 percent share.<\/p>\n The most interesting thing is that Tesla’s share in the BEV segment decreased from over 65 percent a year ago at this point of the year to 58 percent this year.<\/p>\n BEV registrations in January-August 2023:<\/p>\n The article says that Tesla’s year-over-year growth of new registrations amounted to 21 percent in August (47,583 units), which is more than two times slower than in the case of the overall BEV expansion and almost four times slower than the non-Tesla BEV expansion (up almost 100 percent year-over-year).<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/thumbnail\/bev-registrations-in-january-aug-2023.png\")
