On February 25, Ideal Auto released its latest annual report: 90,491 units were delivered in 2021, up 177.4% year-on-year. The annual revenue was 27.01 billion yuan, an increase of 185.6% year-on-year. The full year's net loss increased by $170 million from 2020 to $322 million, an increase of 111.9% year-on-year.
Ideal also announced a delivery target of 30,000-32,000 units in the first quarter of 2022, with an expected increase of 138.5% to 154.4% year-on-year. Considering that the ideal ONE has two "fire" incidents in succession this month, it is not known whether it will affect its future sales, presumably the founder Mr. Li Xiang is also under pressure at this time.
