Chinese carmakers accounted for 88% of the EV market in Brazil and 70% in Thailand in Q1, according to ABI Research figures.
The EV markets in many of these countries are small now, but they're growing rapidly.
This is because Chinese automakers are known for their ability to build electric cars for less than their foreign competitors.
Australian Senator and shadow cyber-security minister James Paterson said earlier this year that Chinese EVs pose a growing cybersecurity risk.
"India is still a little wary of the Chinese market," said Dylan Khoo, an analyst at ABI Research.
