Market data
How many units of each car have been brought into the country, and how many left the factory in China. Figures from public sources.
These cars are on sale in Costa Rica, but we do not have import or factory figures for them yet.
The two columns measure different things and are never added together. Imported to Costa Rica is the total brought into the country. Factory output in China is what the factory shipped during Jan–Jun 2026, including exports.
How many units people bought inside China is kept separate. It is a different measure from factory output and cannot be subtracted to calculate exports.
31,033
Separate series of electric vehicles registered in the country. It is not added to imports: Jan 1, 2024–Jul 31, 2026.
Electric cars shipped from factories in China
Units factories shipped each month, exports included, for fully electric cars only. Sales inside China are kept separate and never added to this figure. A blank means there is no exact figure for that model, not zero sales.
Electric cars imported into Costa Rica, by model
Figures come by year and by model and are checked every month. They are reported imports, not sales or registrations. The current year is still incomplete.
Costa Rica electric-vehicle registrations
Counts include all vehicles registered or classified as electric during each period. They are distinct from sales, customs imports, new-vehicle registrations, market share, plate production and cumulative fleet stock. Administrative classification can include records later corrected or found to be misclassified.
