Geely is that enormous Chinese language automaker that owns so many manufacturers it’s simple to overlook a few of them. The corporate nonetheless sells a mix of gas-powered automobiles and electrical ones, which makes monitoring its progress a bit wonky. Nonetheless, now we have some numbers from Geely for April and the corporate’s gross sales report does give us some key particulars.

To begin with, Geely reviews that its general BEV (totally electrical car) gross sales dropped 19% yr over yr in April, from 92,360 in April 2025 to 74,860 in April 2026. Not nice. Throughout the primary 4 months of the yr, its BEV gross sales dropped 15%, from 330,884 in 2025 to 281,261 this yr.

Plugin hybrids, in the meantime, really noticed vital gross sales development. They grew 83% in April, going from 33,203 gross sales in April 2025 to 60,731 gross sales in April 2026. Throughout the primary 4 months of the yr, Geely’s PHEVs grew 67%, from 133,879 in 2025 to 223,389  in 2026.

The Zeekr model, which used to solely promote BEVs however now additionally sells PHEVs, did see sturdy development itself. It went from 13,727 gross sales in April 2025 to 31,787 in April 2026, 132% development. For January–April gross sales, Zeekr went from 55,130 in 2025 to 108,824 in 2026, 97% development. Not too shabby.

It could be good if Geely broke out BEV and PHEV gross sales of Zeekr, however much more so, it might be good to see the plugin gross sales splits of the Geely model, the Galaxy model, and the Lynk & Co model.

General, Geely is doing … alright. Not nice, however not horrible. I’m very curious what the remainder of the yr holds.
