It is worth mentioning that compared with the previous two years, Weilai Automobile's products have some feelings of not being able to keep up with the rhythm, and its ES6 is currently the hottest product, and the previous ES8 hot energy has passed, and the performance of EC6 needs to be further confirmed.

The author believes that most of the products with annual sales of less than 10,000 vehicles (especially products below 200,000 yuan) will become runners in the future. So from this point of view, the competition in China's new energy market will become more and more fierce in the future. Let's wait and see!
