On March 11, the Association of Passenger Vehicles released the February automobile retail sales data, and the sales of new energy passenger cars reached 272,000 units in February 2022, up 180.5% year-on-year.
In terms of new energy car sales, Wuling Hongguang MINI continued to rank first with a performance of 26,226 units, an increase of 50.9% year-on-year. It is worth noting that bydir Qin's data reached 24501 vehicles, which is very close to the Hongguang MINI EV. In the long run, Qin is quite promising to surpass the Hongguang MINI. BYD occupies second to fourth place on the list and is the biggest winner.
In the top ten list of cars, after excluding mini cars, only BYD Qin, Han, Tesla Model 3 and Xiaopeng P7 are left. BYD's battery, motor, electronic control have their own advantages, in the next two or three years will dominate the list for a long time, Tesla Model 3 will undoubtedly be at the top of the list for a long time. The Xiaopeng P7 currently occupies the tenth position, and when the production of the Xiaopeng P5 rises, it is expected that the car will soon enter this list.
Tesla's sales fell sharply year-on-year, because it implemented the strategy of delivering a large number of foreign countries at the beginning of the quarter and delivering a large number of domestic goods at the end of the quarter. Therefore, Tesla's data is more appropriate to look at the entire quarter.
"What the people need, Wuling will build", this is one of the most popular slogans of Wuling. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, a cheap mini car, has a very large demand, and the mainland is only a country that has just completed the comprehensive well-off, and the per capita vehicle ownership is still very low. People need a cheap car to shelter them from the wind and rain, which is the key to the best-selling Officiation MINI EV.
In such a period of soaring oil prices, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV may become the biggest winner. If Xiao Lei drives to and from work every day, it is really possible to build a cheapest MINI EV to transport, which can help users avoid the problem of crowding people on the bus, and can't spend too much electricity in a year. If you drive a fuel truck every day, and then get stuck in traffic every morning and evening rush hour, then the cost of gasoline is not a small expense.
The association also announced the sales of new energy SUVs in February, BYD's Song (compact SUV) rode the dust, and Tesla Model Y dominated the high-end market.
This list excludes mini cars, which is very informative. In the short term, BYD, Tesla, and "Wei Xiaoli" are the top 5 in the list, and in the future, new power brands such as Xiaomi will definitely enter the SUV market, and there are still great changes in the domestic tram market.
