The ET5, which has been the main seller for NIO (NYSE: NIO) in recent months, saw its position unchanged in a premium sedan ranking last month.

With 6,437 retail sales in March, the ET5 ranked No. 7 in China for premium sedan sales starting at more than 300,000 yuan ($43,560), according to a list released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

The ranking is the same as in February, when the ET5 sold 6,471 units at retail, as previously reported by CnEVPost.

The ET5 is the least expensive of the NIO product array, with a starting price of RMB 328,000. Deliveries of the model begin on September 30, 2022.

NIO delivered 10,378 vehicles in March, including 3,203 SUVs, and 7,175 sedans, according to figures the company announced on April 1.

Considering that NIO's sedans are only ET7 and ET5, this means that ET7 delivered 738 units in March.

The ET7 delivered 649 units in February. Earlier today, NIO announced that in addition to the new ES6, it will launch the 2023 ET7 on the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18.

Except for the ET5, none of the other models in the premium sedan sales ranking are battery-electric vehicles. The models with higher sales than the ET5 are all from German luxury car companies Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.

The Audi A6L topped the list, with 15,614 retail sales in March, while the Mercedes-Benz C-Class ranked second with 14,145 units and the BMW 3 Series third with 13,924 units.

In January-March, the NIO ET5 ranked seventh with 18,703 units sold at retail. The model was No. 6 on the January-February list with 12,266 units sold.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class was the best-selling premium sedan in China in the first three months with 40,261 units sold. The Audi A6L ranked second with 40,246 units. The BMW 3 Series ranked 3rd with 37,151 units.

As in March, the premium sedans that sold more than the ET5 in January-March were all from German luxury car companies.

Post date April 11, 2023

In retail, China's NEV penetration rate was 34.2 percent in March, up 6 percentage points from 28.2 percent in March 2022 and up from 31.6 percent in February.

Retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles (passenger NEVs) in China were 543,000 units in March, up 21.9 percent year-on-year and up 23.6 percent from February, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on April 10.

This is lower than the CPCA's preliminary figure of 549,000 units released on April 6, and lower than the 560,000 units it estimated in its March 25 report.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) continued to dominate, with 383,000 retail sales in March, accounting for 70.5 percent of all NEV retail sales. This represents a 6.4 percent year-on-year increase and a 30.1 percent increase from February.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) accounted for 160,000 retail sales in March, contributing 29.5 percent of NEV retail sales, up 87.6 percent year-on-year and up 10.4 percent from February.

Retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 1,587,000 units in March, up 0.3 percent year-on-year and up 14.3 percent from February, according to the CPCA.

In terms of retail sales, China's NEV penetration rate was 34.2 percent in March, up 6 percentage points from 28.2 percent in March 2022 and up from 31.6 percent in February.

The penetration rate of NEVs was 54.7 percent for local brands, 33.6 percent for luxury brands and 4.2 percent for mainstream joint venture brands.

Wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China were 617,000 units in March, up 35.2 percent year-on-year and up 24.5 percent from February.

This represents a 31 percent penetration of NEVs at wholesale in March, up 6 percentage points from the 25.1 percent penetration in March 2022 and up from 30.6 percent in February.

Chinese domestic brands saw a NEV penetration of 46.4 percent at wholesale in March, compared to 36 percent for luxury brands and 3.7 percent for mainstream joint venture brands.

China exported 70,000 passenger NEVs in March, with BEVs accounting for 94.3 percent of the total.

SAIC passenger car unit exported 23,654 units, BYD 13,312 units and Tesla China 12,206 units in March.

The recent drop in the price of lithium carbonate has helped manufacturers launch more cost-effective NEV models, the CPCA said.

But at the same time, the recent price cuts by some NEV companies may trigger a wait-and-see mood among consumers, the CPCA said.

China CPCA Electric eMobility eV EV Data Industry News Monthly Data

China’s Mar NEV retail sales at 549,000 units, preliminary CPCA data show

Post author By Lei Kang/CnEVPost
Post date April 6, 2023

This was up 27 percent from February, but below the CPCA's estimate of around 560,000 units announced in late March.

Retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles (passenger NEVs) in China were 549,000 units in March, up 5 percent year-on-year and up 27 percent from February, preliminary figures released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) show.

Notably, the CPCA's estimate released on March 24 showed that retail sales of passenger NEVs in China in March were expected to be around 560,000 units.

The lower figure released today means that the NEV market performed weaker in the last week of March than the CPCA had expected.

In the first quarter, retail sales of passenger NEVs in China were 1.139 million units, up 15 percent from a year earlier, the CPCA said today.

Wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China rose 32 percent to 599,000 units in March, up 21 percent from the previous month.

In the first quarter, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 1.483 million units, up 24 percent from a year earlier.

Retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 1.596 million units in March, flat from a year ago and up 17 percent from last February, according to the CPCA.

This means that the penetration of passenger NEVs at retail in March was 34.4 percent, up 2.8 percentage points from 31.6 percent in February.

In the first quarter, retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 4.275 million units, down 13 percent year-on-year.

Wholesale sales of passenger vehicles in China were 1.955 million units in March, up 7 percent year-on-year and up 22 percent from February.

In the first quarter, China's passenger car wholesale sales were 5.021 million units, down 8 percent year-on-year.

With a large number of car companies stepping up their promotions in March, demand for cars was concentrated, putting pressure on the normal order of the market, the CPCA said.

From the performance of the first four weeks of March, the conversion rate of customer traffic is not high, consumers were in a wait-and-see mood, and the overall demand was weak, the CPCA said.

Here are the CPCA's weekly retail sales data for the Chinese passenger vehicle market in March, as announced today:

Average daily retail sales of passenger vehicles in the first week of March were 31,000 units, down 16 percent year-on-year and down 14 percent from the same period in February.

Average daily sales for the second week of March were 37,000 units, down 18 percent year-on-year and down 8 percent from the same period in February.

Average daily sales for the third week of March were 41,000 units, up 10 percent year-on-year and up 7 percent from the same period in February.

Average daily sales for the fourth week of March were 46,000 units, up 18 percent year-on-year but down 35 percent from the same period in February.

Sales for the fifth week of March were reported at 115,000 units, up 3 percent year-on-year and up 63 percent from the same period in February.

China’s Mar passenger NEV wholesale sales up 20% MoM to 600,000, CPCA estimates show

Post author By Phate Zhang/CnEVPost
Post date April 4, 2023

In the first quarter, wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China are expected to be 1.48 million, up 25 percent year-on-year, the CPCA said.

China's March wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles (passenger NEVs) are expected to be 600,000 units, up 20 percent from February and up 30 percent year-on-year, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said in a report today.

In February, the 10 manufacturers that sold more than 10,000 NEVs at wholesale contributed 83 percent of all wholesale sales, the CPCA said.

These companies are expected to sell 477,000 units in March, and the normal structure would put China's March wholesale sales of passenger NEVs above 570,000 units, the CPCA said.

Considering that some small and medium-sized companies' NEV sales improved significantly from February, the passenger car market in March could be optimistic, the CPCA said.

In the first quarter, wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China are expected to be 1.48 million, up 25 percent year-on-year, the CPCA said.

China's passenger NEV sales fell sharply in January, as subsidies for the purchase of NEVs were withdrawn, as well as under the influence of the Chinese New Year holiday. The market gradually rebounded in February.

In March, China's passenger NEV market maintained a rebound despite disruptions from gasoline vehicle promotions, the CPCA said.

With recent lithium carbonate price reductions evident, some manufacturers actively allowed production and sales to slow down in the first quarter to reduce costs, the CPCA noted.

At one point in late November last year, battery-grade lithium carbonate was quoted at RMB 590,000 ($85,790) per ton in China, about 14 times the average RMB 41,000 per ton price in June 2020.

Since then, lithium carbonate offers have continued to move downward, without seeing a single day of gains this year.

Battery-grade lithium carbonate prices in China today fell RMB 8,500 per ton, or 3.66 percent, to RMB 224,000 per ton, according to Mysteel data monitored by CnEVPost.

Industrial-grade lithium carbonate fell RMB 6,000 per ton, or 3.08 percent, to RMB 189,000 per ton today.

China CPCA CPCA Estimates Electric eMobility eV EV Data Expectations Industry News Monthly Data

CPCA expects China’s Mar NEV retail sales to rise 27.5% from Feb to 560,000 units

Post author By Phate Zhang/CnEVPost
Post date March 25, 2023

The overall market is recovering at a slower pace than previously expected due to increased consumer wait-and-see sentiment caused by big price cuts, the CPCA said.

The China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) expects China's new energy vehicle (NEV) sales to continue to recover this month from last month, although growth in the overall passenger car market remains slow.

Retail sales of passenger vehicles in China are expected to be 1.59 million units in March, flat from a year ago and up 14.5 percent from February, the CPCA said in a report late last night.

Among them, retail sales of NEVs are expected to be 560,000 units, up 25.8 percent from a year ago and up 27.5 percent from February, with a penetration rate of 35.2 percent, according to the report.

In mid-March, the overall market discount rate for passenger cars in China was about 14.4 percent, up from 13.9 percent at the end of February, indicating intense price competition in sales channels, the report said.

The Chinese car market performed poorly in January-February amid multiple unfavorable factors, and demand began to be released in March, the CPCA said.

However, the overall market recovered at a slower pace than previously expected due to increased consumer wait-and-see sentiment caused by car companies' price-cut marketing, the report said.

Large discounts offered by car companies in Hubei province in early March attracted a lot of consumer attention, but at the same time led to a wait-and-see mood among consumers in other provinces and cities, the CPCA said.

Other local governments have since introduced subsidy policies and car brands have followed suit with promotions, which have boosted store traffic but limited actual order conversion, the CPCA said.

Consumer wait-and-see sentiment further increased, negatively impacting the auto market, the report said.

Average daily retail sales for major Chinese automakers in the first and second weeks of March were 31,500 and 36,700, down 16 percent and 18 percent year-on-year, respectively, according to the report.

Average daily retail sales in the third week are expected to be 40,800, up 10 percent year-on-year, mainly due to a low base from last year as a result of the Covid outbreak in the same period last year.

Considering the upward pulse of car sales at the end of the quarter and promotional policies in some regions, the auto market is expected to maintain its rebound in the fourth and fifth weeks, the CPCA said.

The CPCA usually releases estimates of passenger vehicle sales at the end of the month, with preliminary data released early the following month, followed by final data.

It estimated February NEV retail sales in China at around 400,000 units on February 22, released a preliminary figure of 438,000 units on March 7, and released a final figure of 439,000 units on March 8.

Tesla Model Y ranks No. 2 in top-selling SUVs in China in Feb

Post date March 9, 2023

BYD Song was the best-selling SUV in China in February with 51,592 retail sales, and the Model Y ranked No. 2 with 25,526 units.

TSLA.US

The Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y was the No. 2 best-selling SUV in China in February, with the BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) Song taking the top spot by a significant margin.

Model Y retail sales in China in February were 25,526 units, up 37.3 percent from 18,593 units a year ago, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

That puts the Tesla SUV at No. 2 on the list of best-selling SUVs in China, according to the CPCA's list.

The BYD Song topped the list with 51,592 retail sales in February, up 110.3 percent from 24,532 units in the same month last year.

BYD Yuan Plus retail sales in February were 20,279 units, up 349.1 percent from 4,515 units in the same month last year, and ranked third on the list.

In January-February, BYD Song retail sales were 101,301 units, up 115.6 percent year-on-year, making it the best-selling SUV in China for the first two months.

The Tesla Model Y came in second on the list with 39,710 units in the same period, up 13.6 percent year-on-year, and the Changan CS75 came in third with 35,030 units.

Notably, this is the first time the CPCA has not placed the Model Y in the ranking of high-end SUV sales with a starting price above 300,000 yuan ($43,080).

In the CPCA's previous lists, the Model Y has appeared in the premium SUV sales rankings, even though its starting price has been below RMB 300,000 after two major price cuts.

Tesla Model 3 sales in February were 8,397 units, up 82.3 percent from 4,607 units a year ago, according to the CPCA.

This puts the Model 3 at No. 7 among the best-selling new energy sedans in February.

The BYD Qin was the best-selling new energy sedan in February, with the NIO ET5 ranking 10th on the list with 6,471 units sold.

In January-February, the Tesla Model 3 retailed 21,056 units in China, placing it at No. 6 on the list of best-selling new energy sedans.

The NIO ET5 sold 12,266 units in January-February, ranking No. 9 on the list.
