Ford's massive future EV and battery facility in Tennessee is taking shape, and on track for a 2025 opening.
Maserati's luxury sedan could have up to 1,000 hp.
In March, GAC Aion sold 40,016 vehicles, Leapmotor delivered 6,172 and Shenlan 8,568.
The first day of every month is the day when Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers intensively announce their deliveries for the previous month, and CnEVPost highlighted leading companies, including NIO, XPeng and Li Auto, in separate articles.
For the other lesser-known EV companies, we wanted to use this article to record their delivery performance in March.
Aion: 40,016 units
GAC's new energy vehicle (NEV) subsidiary, GAC Aion, saw a strong performance in March, with sales reaching 40,016 units, up 96.96 percent year-on-year and up 33.01 percent from February, according to data released today.
GAC Aion sold 80,308 vehicles in the first quarter, up 78.96 percent year-on-year.
On March 30, GAC Aion announced the magazine battery 2.0, which claims not to catch fire or explode even after a gunshot.
Leapmotor: 6,172 units
Leapmotor delivered 6,172 vehicles in March, down 38.64 percent from 10,059 in the same month last year but up 93 percent from 3,198 in February.
In the first quarter, the company delivered 10,509 vehicles, a decrease of 51.30 percent from the same period last year and down 55.41 percent from the fourth quarter.
The Leapmotor C11 series SUV received more than 10,000 orders in March, according to the company.
Leapmotor officially launched the C11 extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) on March 1, after the model was previously only offered in an all-electric version.
Yesterday, Leapmotor announced the signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Qualcomm for a strategic partnership to build smart cockpit products based on the latter's latest-generation Snapdragon SA8295P platform.
Shenlan: 8,568 units
Changan Automobile's NEV brand Shenlan delivered 8,568 vehicles in March, up 108.82 percent from 4,103 vehicles in February.
In the first quarter, Shenlan delivered 18,808 vehicles, a decrease of 22.85 percent from the fourth quarter of last year.
Shenlan currently offers only the SL03 sedan, which was unveiled on July 25, 2022 and began deliveries in September last year.
It officially debuted its first SUV, the Shenlan S7, a model similar to the Tesla Model Y crossover, on March 5. The Shenlan S7 is not yet available.
Smart: 5,911 units
Smart delivered 5,911 vehicles in China in March, up 63.47 percent from 3,616 vehicles in February.
In the first quarter, Smart delivered 12,697 vehicles in China, an increase of 46.87 percent year-on-year.
Since deliveries began in September 2022, Smart has delivered a cumulative total of 21,909 vehicles.
Skyworth: 1,282 units
Skyworth delivered 1,282 vehicles in March, down 13.14 percent from 1,476 vehicles in February. The company exported 517 vehicles last month.
In the first quarter, Skyworth delivered 3,946 vehicles, according to figures released by the company today.
Skyworth, a Chinese appliance manufacturer, released its first electric vehicle product in April 2021.
The company is one of those tracked by CnEVPost, but it has been putting deliveries and orders together in an incomprehensible way when it released delivery figures before this year.

In the first quarter, Zeekr delivered 15,234 units, up 84.86 percent year-on-year, but down 53.08 percent from the fourth quarter.
Zeekr's deliveries continued to rebound in March, although the first-quarter figure was down significantly from the fourth quarter.
Zeekr delivered 6,663 vehicles in March, up 271.20 percent from 1,795 in the same month last year and up 22.14 percent from 5,455 in February, according to data it released today.
In the first quarter, Zeekr delivered 15,234 vehicles, up 84.86 percent from 8,241 in the same period last year, but down 53.08 percent from 32,467 in the fourth quarter.
The decline in Zeekr's deliveries in the first quarter was primarily due to a 21-day production halt at its Ningbo, Zhejiang plant around the Chinese New Year holiday. The plant resumed production on February 1. January 21 to January 27 was this year's Chinese New Year holiday.
The shutdown resulted in Zeekr delivering only 3,116 vehicles in January, a new low since April 2022.
Zeekr was officially launched as an independent company in March 2021, with its first model, the Zeekr 001, launched on April 15, 2021, and deliveries beginning in October 2021.
On November 1, 2022, Zeekr's second model, the Zeekr 009 MPV, was launched, and its deliveries began on January 15.
As of March 31, Zeekr's cumulative deliveries since inception were 93,182.
Zeekr plans to see sales double from last year to 140,000 units in 2023 and will release two new models, its CEO said in an internal letter earlier this year.
The company's next model is expected to be the Zeekr X, which already made it onto a regulatory filing list in February.
