Passenger vehicle sales in China are expected to decline this month compared to a year ago, but the performance of new energy vehicles (NEVs) remains strong.

In June, retail sales of NEVs in China are expected to be around 670,000 units, up 26 percent year-on-year and up 15.5 percent from May, according to estimates released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

Survey shows that automakers that contribute about 80 percent of passenger car sales are targeting retail sales growth of about 5 percent in June compared with May, the CPCA said.

According to preliminary projections, passenger vehicle sales in China were about 1.83 million units in June, up 5 percent from May but down 5.9 percent from a year earlier, the CPCA said.

The year-on-year decline was due to a high base in June last year, when China's auto market was recovering from the shock of Covid, according to the CPCA.

The CPCA had forecast several times this month that June passenger car sales would be lower than a year ago, one reason being China's halving of purchase taxes on mainstream internal combustion engine vehicles that began last June.

Today's latest estimate implies that NEVs had a penetration rate of about 36.6 percent at retail in June, up from 33.3 percent in May.

Auto market demand dropped slightly in early June, but the market warmed up with the start of the June 18 shopping spree, the release of local government subsidies and the Dragon Boat Festival, the CPCA said.

The overall discount rate in China's passenger car market was about 17.8 percent in mid-June, expanding 0.6 percent from the end of May, according to the CPCA.

Major carmakers averaged 31,100 daily retail sales in the first week of June, down 42 percent from the same period in May, mainly due to a high base of vehicle sales during last month's Labor Day holiday, the CPCA said.

Their average daily retail sales in the second week of June were 42,900 units, down 14 percent from the second week of May.

As promotions kicked off in mid-June, the car market picked up in the third week, with average daily retail sales of 57,500 units, up 21 percent from the same week in May.

In the fourth week, with the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, average daily retail sales are expected to be 62,000 units, an increase of 26 percent over the same period in May.

In week five, average daily retail is expected to be 113,700 units, up 32 percent from the same period in May, due to the pulse of the quarter-end sales, according to the CPCA.

From June 1 to June 18, retail sales of passenger new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China were 320,000 units, up 1 percent year-on-year and up 5 percent from the same period last month, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

So far this year, China's retail sales of passenger NEVs were 2.74 million units, up 35 percent year-on-year.

From June 1 to June 18, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 308,000 units, down 8 percent year-on-year and up 7 percent from the same period last month, according to the CPCA.

So far this year, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs were 3.09 million units, up 38 percent year-on-year.

Between June 1 and June 18, retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 828,000 units, down 6 percent year-on-year and down 8 percent from the same period last month, the CPCA said.

So far this year, cumulative retail sales of passenger cars in China were up 3 percent year-on-year to 8.46 million units.

This means that from June 1 to June 18, the penetration of NEVs at retail in China was 38.6 percent, and 32.39 percent so far this year.

In the first week of June -- June 1-4 -- the average daily retail sales of passenger cars in China were 31,000 units, down 9 percent from a year ago and 42 percent lower than the same period last month.

In the second week -- June 5 to 11 -- average daily retail sales of passenger cars were 43,000 units, down 10 percent year-on-year and down 14 percent compared to the same period in May.

In the third week -- June 12 to 18 -- average daily retail sales of passenger cars were 58,000 units, down 2 percent year-on-year and up 21 percent compared to the same period in May.

China began halving purchase taxes on mainstream internal combustion engine vehicles last June, causing sales to shift toward the beginning of the month, the CPCA said. The policy was not renewed when it expired at the end of last year.

By comparison, this June is a normal sales month, so a dip at the beginning of the month is normal, the CPCA said, adding that auto sales are expected to decline year-on-year for the entire month of June.

The Chinese passenger car market was weak in the first two weeks of June, while the new energy vehicle (NEV) market performed slightly better.

From June 1 to June 11, retail sales of passenger NEVs in China were 160,000 units, up 18 percent year-on-year but down 4 percent from the same period last month, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

So far this year, China's retail sales of passenger NEVs were 2,581,000 units, up 39 percent year-on-year.

From June 1 to June 11, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 144,000 units, up 18 percent year-on-year and up 3 percent from the same period last month, according to the CPCA.

Wholesale sales of passenger NEVs so far this year were 2,927,000 units, up 45 percent year-on-year.

From June 1 to June 11, retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 425,000 units, down 10 percent year-on-year and down 25 percent from the same period last month, the CPCA said.

So far this year, cumulative retail sales of passenger cars in China were up 3 percent year-on-year to 8.057 million units.

This means that from June 1 to June 11, the penetration of NEVs at retail in China was 37.6 percent, and 32.03 percent so far this year.

In the first week of June -- June 1-4 -- the average daily retail sales of passenger cars in China were 31,000 units, down 9 percent from a year ago and 42 percent lower than the same period last month.

In the second week of June -- June 5 to 11- - average daily retail sales of passenger cars were 43,000 units, down 10 percent year-on-year and down 14 percent compared to the same period in May.

The decline in sales in early June was mainly due to a high base from last year brought about by stimulus policies.

On May 31, 2022, China announced a 50 percent reduction in vehicle purchase tax for passenger vehicles of 2.0 liter and below displacement with a purchase date between June 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 and with a vehicle price not exceeding RMB 300,000 ($ 41,900).

Before the policy took effect, China's purchase tax rate for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles was 10 percent, while the purchase of NEVs was exempt from purchase tax.

The stimulus policy left car sales high at the beginning of June last year, while the same period this year was a normal sales time, so a decline in sales is natural, the CPCA said today.

The CPCA did not release sales figures for specific car companies, but shared some numbers yesterday.

Li Auto sold 11,900 units from June 1 to June 11, figures shared yesterday by the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) showed. The company did not specify, though the figures are based on vehicle insurance registrations.

(NASDAQ: TSLA) sold 26,000 units in China from June 1-11, while (NYSE: NIO) had 2,800 and (NYSE: XPEV) had 2,200, according to Li Auto.

China NEV retail up 10.5% MoM to 580,000 in May, CPCA data show

NEV penetration at retail in China was 33.3 percent in May, up 6.7 percentage points from 26.6 percent a year earlier and up from 32.3 percent in April.

Retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles (passenger NEVs) in China were 580,000 units in May, up 60.9 percent year-on-year and up 10.5 percent from April, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

This is higher than the preliminary figure of 557,000 units announced by the CPCA on June 7, and in line with its estimate released on May 23.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 388,000 in May, or 66.9 percent of all NEV retail sales. This was up 44.9 percent year-on-year and up 7.5 percent from April.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) accounted for 192,000 units in May, contributing 33.1 percent of NEV retail sales, an increase of 109.1 percent year-on-year and up 17.22 percent from April.

Retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 1.742 million units in May, up 28.6 percent year-on-year and up 7.3 percent from April.

NEV penetration at retail in China was 33.3 percent in May, up 6.7 percentage points from 26.6 percent in the same month last year and up from 32.3 percent in April.

The penetration rate of NEVs was 57.1 percent for local brands, 23.0 percent for luxury brands and 4.0 percent for mainstream joint venture brands.

From January to May, retail sales of passenger NEVs in China were 2.42 million units, up 41 percent year-on-year.

Wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 673,000 units in May, up 59.4 percent year-on-year and up 11.5 percent from April.

This means that the penetration of NEVs at wholesale in May was 33.7 percent, up 7.2 percentage points from 26.5 percent a year ago and down from 33.9 percent in April.

The penetration of Chinese domestic brands' NEVs at wholesale in May was 50.4 percent, compared to 33.6 percent for luxury brands and 4.3 percent for mainstream joint venture brands.

From January to May, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 2.78 million units, up 48 percent year-on-year.

In May, China exported 92,000 passenger NEVs, of which BEVs accounted for 92.6 percent. This represents a year-on-year increase of 135.7 percent, up 1.2 percent from April, and contributed 30.5 percent of all passenger vehicle exports.

Looking ahead, the CPCA believes it would be normal if Chinese passenger car sales in June were lower than a year ago, as China halved the purchase tax on major fuel vehicles starting June 1 last year, allowing for a big increase in sales that month.

China NEV wholesale in May at about 670,000 units, CPCA estimates show

From January to May, China's wholesale sales of passenger NEVs are expected to be 2.78 million units, up 46 percent year-on-year, the CPCA said.

China's wholesale sales of passenger new energy vehicles (NEVs) are expected to be 670,000 units in May, up 11 percent from April and up 59 percent year-on-year, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said in a report today.

In April, the 11 manufacturers with more than 10,000 wholesale sales of NEVs contributed 81.1 percent of all wholesale sales, the CPCA said.

These companies are expected to sell 542,000 units in May, and the normal structure would put China's wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in May at around 650,000 units, the CPCA said.

The CPCA gave a higher estimated figure of 670,000 wholesale sales as the development of China's NEV industry continues to consolidate this year, the report said.

In the January-May period, China's wholesale sales of passenger NEVs are expected to be 2.78 million units, up 46 percent year-on-year, according to the report.

NEVs include battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and fuel cell vehicles.

China's new energy passenger vehicle market returned to stronger growth in May, with sales hitting a new high this year, the CPCA said.

As a result of last year's low base and the recent continued strength of China's passenger NEV exports, vehicle companies in the core regions of the NEV industry chain, including Shanghai, performed well, the CPCA said.

Passenger vehicle sales in China are expected to be 23.5 million units in 2023, including 8.5 million NEVs, and penetration is expected to reach 36 percent, the CPCA said, repeating its previous forecast.

In 2022, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 6.5 million units, up 96.3 percent year-on-year.

Here are the wholesale NEV sales of major automakers in May, as published by the CPCA.

That means the penetration rate of NEVs at retail in May was about 33.5 percent.

During the Labor Day holiday, many cities held auto shows, giving the auto market a high level of attention, the CPCA said. This year, China's Labor Day holiday ran from April 29 to May 3.

The incentives offered by car companies, coupled with local government policies to promote consumption, allowed the Chinese auto market to see a good start in May, with market sentiment and transactions significantly better than the same period in previous years, the CPCA said.

However, as some consumer demand was released at the beginning of the month, the market enthusiasm dropped back significantly as traffic and orders at sales stores turned light after the holidays, the CPCA noted.

Average daily retail sales for major vehicle companies in the first week of May were 53,600, up 46 percent from the previous week and up 67 percent year-on-year.

Average daily retail sales for the second week were 47,300, up 5 percent from the previous week and up 44 percent year-on-year.

Average daily retail sales in the third week are expected to be 53,000, and in weeks four and five the figure is expected to be 72,500, the CPCA said.

In mid-May, the overall discount rate in China's passenger car market was about 16.9 percent, largely unchanged from the previous month, with prices at sales outlets stabilizing, according to the CPCA.
