At the beginning of each month, new energy brands are always the fastest to announce last month's sales results, and now BYD has joined the team. In April, BYD's monthly sales exceeded 100,000 vehicles, reaching 105475 vehicles, and it won the sales championship of new energy brands without any suspense. At such a difficult time in the automotive industry, BYD's sales figure is really terrible, and it can also reflect that whether it is a brand or a product perspective, BYD has begun to get more consumer recognition.
However, what is more frightening is that at present, there is no opponent in China that can catch up, and GAC Aean, which ranks second, has only 10,212 vehicles in a single month, which is ten times worse than BYD. In fact, in the new energy list in April, Eian's sales volume can also be regarded as an extraordinary level, after all, other brands are lower than this number, helpless than BYD is too strong.
The third estimate many people are also a little unexpected, it is a zero-running car, it sold 9087 vehicles in April, although it did not break 10,000, but more than the "Wei Xiaoli" of these three, the owner of the zero-running car has publicly stated: In 2023 to enter the new force TOP3, April sales do not represent that it briefly achieved this small goal?
In April, the three collectives of "Wei Xiaoli" retreated, Xiaopeng ranked fourth with a score of 9002 vehicles, Weilai ranked sixth, with sales of 5074 vehicles, and the most regrettable thing is that the ideal only sold 4167 vehicles, falling to the seventh place. In addition to the dilemma that everyone has to face, what really makes the ideal car decline should be its own problem.
On the one hand, Ideal ONE made a sharp price adjustment in April, the price increase reached more than 10,000, due to the rise in raw material prices, almost all new energy models are increasing prices, which is actually understandable. In the reply made by Ideal Car to the reasons for the price increase, it was also said that the price increase caused by the increase in the cost of battery raw materials was the biggest factor. However, the ideal ONE as a range extended electric vehicle, in fact, the battery pack capacity used is not very large, and the price increase of more than 10,000 is really exaggerated. And Ideal Auto announced on March 23 that it can't wait to officially increase prices from April 1.
On the other hand, Weilai, as a pure electric vehicle model, used a larger battery pack, and only increased the price by 10,000 yuan, and announced on April 10 that it was officially increased on May 10, leaving consumers with enough buffer time.
It seems that this operation of the ideal car has also hurt the hearts of consumers to a certain extent, and many netizens have said that they are unable to support it.
On the other hand, the ideal currently only ideal ONE model on sale, the use of range extender power, although to solve the pure electric vehicle endurance anxiety and charging anxiety problem, but on the other hand this set of range extender power system is actually not without shortcomings, high-speed power is insufficient, climbing weak, rapid acceleration response, etc., there will also be high fuel consumption and other issues, and now the fuel consumption is also rising step by step, the ideal ONE is quite a bit of a feeling of both ends are not flattering. I wonder if the ideal sales in May will still rise?
