Sales of new energy vehicle companies in April: BYD "one against nine", Tesla did not squeeze into the top three

In April, when the sales of BYD, the "leading boss", fell month-on-month, except for a few car companies, the new energy sales of all car companies basically maintained positive year-on-year growth. Some people joke that among the top 10 new energy manufacturers, there are only two: BYD and others, and the combined sales of 2-10 car companies can surpass BYD. The high-profile Xiaomi car has surpassed the sales of new energy vehicles of multinational giants such as Volkswagen, General Motors, and Toyota in the first month, becoming another beautiful scenery.

BYD's monthly sales are "one against nine"

BYD's sales in April increased by 31.1% year-on-year, and it is rare to still be able to have such a growth rate under the condition of maintaining a large sales base last year. Judging from the sales data of new energy manufacturers in April, BYD has even reached the point of "one against nine". The total sales volume from the second to the ninth place in the TOP10 was 252697 units, while BYD's sales last month were 254131 units. In other words, BYD's sales exceeded the total number of second to ninth places in the TOP10.

In addition to BYD, in terms of traditional car companies making efforts in new energy, Geely and Changan are currently the two best performing car companies. Last month, Geely and Changan Automobile sold 49,000 and 40,000 new energy vehicles, respectively. In April, Tesla's domestic sales were 31,400 units, down 21.4% year-on-year, lagging behind SAIC-GM-Wuling. As for the cumulative sales from January to April, Tesla is not as good as Geely and Changan Automobile.

The new force Aion overpowers Ideal and Cialis

Among the new power brands, GAC Aion beat Li Auto and Cialis Automobile to rank first in April, and the monthly sales of these three are more than 25,000 units, and the gap is between several hundred units. If it weren't for GAC Aion's sales recovery in April, the battle for the top spot in sales of new forces would be between Cialis and Ideal.

With a monthly delivery volume of 25,787 vehicles, Ideal can overwhelm the world, launch products that are close to the people, and regain market share with the power of "price". Among them, the ideal L6 new car has attracted 20,000 orders in 12 days after its launch, becoming a new hit. While the delivery volume of the hot-selling model M7 was "halved" month-on-month, the new M9 performed strongly, with 13,391 deliveries, becoming the king of the 500,000+ luxury market. In addition to the above three car companies with monthly deliveries of more than 20,000 vehicles, Zeekr, NIO and Leap all delivered between 15,000 and 16,000 vehicles last month. Among the new power car companies with less than 10,000 deliveries in April, Xpeng Motors delivered 9,393 vehicles, and the gap with several others is becoming more and more obvious. Nezha Automobile also had only 9,017 vehicles, down 18.62% year-on-year. The traffic king of the Beijing Auto Show, Xiaomi Automobile, achieved more than 7,000 deliveries in the first month, leaving behind AVATAR, which only delivered 5,247 vehicles. It is worth mentioning that the sales of Xiaomi cars in the first month exceeded the sales of new energy vehicles of multinational car companies such as FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC-GM, and FAW Toyota.

BMW, a multinational brand, leads the BBA

Among the multinational brands, SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC-GM and FAW-Volkswagen currently have high sales of new energy vehicles, with sales of more than 6,000-8,000 units last month, and FAW Toyota, which has the highest sales of new energy vehicles for the time being, is around 4,000 units. Among luxury brands, BMW's NEV sales in April were about 7,000 units or more, taking the lead in BBA.

In fact, at the Beijing Auto Show last month, many multinational car companies showed their determination to accelerate the transformation of electrification. Toyota's all-electric models, the bZ Sport Crossover Concept and the bZ FlexSpace Concept, were jointly developed with BYD and GAC Group, respectively. Honda exhibited three models of the all-new electric brand Ye, while Dongfeng Honda's e:NS2 and Guangqi Honda's e:NP2 were both launched. Nissan's all-electric Hyper Force concept car also made its Chinese debut at the show. Among the American brands, Buick's best-selling MPV product GL8 in the Chinese market has finally launched its PHEV plug-in hybrid version. Volkswagen also unveiled its new smart electric category and announced its official name, and the first new car under the new category, "ID.UNYX and the public", was also officially unveiled. Among the BBAs of luxury brands, BMW MINI released its first pure electric crossover model, Mercedes-Benz pure electric G-class off-road vehicle also ushered in the world premiere, and Maybach's first mass-produced pure electric model, the Maybach EQS pure electric SUV, was also launched in China. The Audi Q6L e-tron, the brand's first all-electric model tailored for the Chinese market, also announced its world premiere. Porsche's all-new all-electric Macan also debuted two models – the all-electric Macan and the all-electric Macan Turbo – and announced the official retail price.

Of course, whether these new energy products can be recognized by consumers in the Chinese market, sales volume is undoubtedly the best answer.
