In the early days of new energy vehicle subsidies, the mileage was not one of the important reasons for restricting subsidies, and at that time, the automobile market appeared a large number of micro low-endurance electric vehicles such as the Global Eagle K Series and Zhidou. Nowadays, the subsidy threshold for new energy vehicles has been raised to more than 300 kilometers of pure electric endurance, and even after 2023, the subsidies for new energy vehicles will be cancelled, and it is reasonable to say that these low-endurance new energy vehicles are difficult to sell in the market. But after Wuling's Hongguang MINIEV went public and became a hit, low-endurance electric vehicles mushroomed overnight. The reason why these cars appear is precisely because they are red-eyed and bright MINIEV's high sales, and they also want to share in the micro-electric vehicle market.
How high are the sales of Hongguang MINIEV? We can look at it from the 2022 Haikou New Energy and Intelligent Networked Auto Show, because at this auto show, Wuling held a "MINI Life, LING Sense Travel" conference and released the "GSEV User Travel White Paper", which has various types of data related to Hongguang MINIEV.
According to statistics, in October 2021, the monthly sales of Hongguang MINIEV was 47834 units, and at that time, Hongguang MINIEV set a record high in the sales of new energy single models, and won the top position in China's car sales list. Moreover, in January, April, July, August and October 2021, Hongguang MINIEV became the single-month sales champion in the global new energy vehicle market for five times. As for the cumulative sales, Hongguang MINIEV has sold more than 450,000 units since it was listed, considering that Hongguang MINIEV was only listed in July 2020, this sales volume is really good.
The high sales volume of Hongguang MINIEV is related to many factors, and the strength of Hongguang MINIEV is outstanding, its small body size is very suitable for daily commuting. In the process of daily travel, Hongguang can easily find parking spaces without worrying about insufficient parking spaces. And the cost of the car in Hongguang MINIEV is very low, as long as 5 cents per kilometer, driving for a month, even saving money than taking the subway. Not only that, Hongguang MINIEV is very suitable for Chaochuang, which has 80% of the area of the body can be used by Chaochuang, and has also become the highest new energy vehicle with the highest domestic Tidal innovation rate (72%).
Another reason for the high sales of Hongguang MINIEV has a lot to do with Wuling's accumulation in the field of new energy vehicles. Wuling independently developed GSEV global small pure electric vehicle architecture, Hongguang MINIEV, Baojun KiWi EV, Wuling Nano and many other models, are born in GSEV global small pure electric vehicle architecture.
The "GSEV User Travel White Paper" also explains the current achievements of the GSEV global small pure electric vehicle architecture, in terms of cumulative sales, the GSEV global small pure electric vehicle architecture born of the electric vehicle, has sold a total of 750,000 units. According to statistics, for every 2 small new energy vehicles sold in China, one is from GSEV's global small pure electric vehicle architecture, which shows Wuling's influence in this field.
The models built based on GSEV's global small pure electric vehicle architecture have now driven more than 5.5 billion kilometers under the driving of car owners, reducing carbon emissions by more than 1.04 million tons. It just so happens that China is promoting "carbon neutrality" and "carbon peaking", and the electric vehicles built by Wuling just meet the needs of development.
In addition, Wuling also actively promotes the development of the industry, and has participated in the formulation of various standards for the development of the industry for many times, including standards at the international level and national level. Wuling now has a high influence in the new energy vehicle market, and its technical accumulation and market heritage are quite deep. At this time, looking back at Hongguang MINIEV, it is not difficult to understand why Hongguang MINIEV can have high sales.
