The best-selling EVs in July 2026

evchu’s figures by model run behind the monthly total. The latest ranking it has up to August 2026 is for July 2026.

Source: Autolife Thailand’s monthly top 30 of EV registrations; ranks as published. A rank with no model is one evchu could not match to its catalogue.

By brand

July 2026 by brand

Registrations summed by brand from the 29 models of Autolife Thailand’s monthly top 30 that evchu matched to its catalogue, 18,865 EVs in all. DLT’s monthly total for July 2026 was 21,074 EVs. Autolife’s table is counted separately, so it is not given as a share of that total.

Each share is of these models only, not of the whole market.

Movers

The biggest moves from June 2026 to July 2026, among models in both months

From Autolife Thailand’s monthly top 30 for both months, compared across the 24 models in both tables. 9 models in only one month are left out: missing from a table is not the same as none registered.
