Since entering 2022, due to the sharp rise in the prices of raw materials, chips and core components, many manufacturers' new energy models have also increased in price, including Tesla, BYD, Weilai, Xiaopeng, etc., but strangely, the price increase has not affected the enthusiasm of consumers to buy, from the data released by the Association, the sales of new energy models in March 2022 were 445,000 units, year-on-year and month-on-month.
Among them, BYD's new energy vehicle sales are even higher, with more than 100,000 vehicles to become the top seller in the new energy vehicle market, far more than Tesla and Wuling, there is such an excellent sales to ensure that BYD stopped production of fuel vehicles is also a natural thing.
Judging from the list in March, BYD has four models squeezed into the top ten, including the Song family, the Qin family, the Han family and the Dolphin, and the newly launched Yuan PLUS also has sales performance of more than 10,000 vehicles. Thanks to the support of blade batteries and DM-i supermix systems, the competitiveness of BYD's new energy models has been greatly improved, so its market share is also getting higher and higher.
Tesla's performance in March is also very eye-catching, Model Y is second only to Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, sales of nearly 40,000 vehicles, and Model 3 also exceeded 26,000 units, but due to the impact of the Shanghai epidemic, the current Tesla Shanghai factory is still in a state of suspension, which is expected to have a great impact on Sales in April.
Unexpectedly, the performance of micro-electric vehicles in March was very eye-catching, first of all, Hongguang MINI EV is still the top of the sales, while QQ ice cream, Benben EV has also entered the top ten, and sales are also over 10,000. Among them, QQ ice cream has become the largest "dark horse", with sales exceeding 10,000 for the first time, and its cute shape and price of less than 50,000 are its advantages.
Among the new power brands, the ideal ONE performance is still stable, delivering 11,034 vehicles in March, and it is also a medium-sized SUV with a price of more than 300,000, which has to make people feel the consumption power of Chinese. Ideal's second model, the Ideal L9, will also be released this year, and is a large extended-range electric SUV, and I believe that the overall sales of Ideal Cars will help a certain extent.
The Xiaopeng P7 also performed very well, entering the top 15 of the list with 9183 deliveries. However, the overall performance of NIO is relatively sluggish, and the best performing NIO ES6 has not entered the top 20, with only more than 5,000 deliveries.
Since March, more and more new energy vehicle manufacturers have entered the ranks of price increases, while domestic oil prices are also rising, in such a situation, but stimulated the outbreak of the new energy vehicle market, many people feel that "no longer buy to lose"! However, with the multi-point outbreak of the national epidemic in April, especially in Shanghai, many car companies and related supply chain partners have stopped production, and the new energy vehicle market may usher in a "cold spring" in April.
