China NEV sales down 2.6% MoM to 636,000 in April, CAAM data show

Irrational promotions in China's auto market since March have led to consumer wait-and-see, so auto consumption is still in a slow recovery process, the CAAM said.

China's new energy vehicle (NEV) sales in April were 636,000 units, up 112.71 percent year-on-year, but down 2.6 percent from March, according to data released today by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM).

The CAAM's data are wholesale sales for automakers, where NEVs include battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and fuel cell vehicles.

China sold 471,000 BEVs in April, up 103.7 percent year-on-year but down 3.9 percent from March.

PHEV sales were 165,000 units, up 144.5 percent year-on-year. Sales of fuel cell vehicles were 300 units, up 222.3 percent year-on-year.

All vehicle sales in China were 2.159 million units in April, up 82.7 percent year-on-year but down 11.9 percent from March.

Production of NEVs in China was 640,000 units in April, up 110 percent year-on-year, but down 5 percent from 674,000 units in March.

Production of all vehicles in China was 2.133 million units in April, up 76.8 percent year-on-year and 17.5 percent lower than in March.

China's auto production and sales saw a significant year-on-year increase in April, but this was mainly due to a low base in the same month last year, the CAAM noted.

Irrational promotions in the Chinese auto market since March have led to consumer wait-and-see, so auto consumption is still in a slow recovery process, the CAAM said.

In addition, production and sales in China's auto industry fell in April compared to March amid adverse factors including a slower-than-expected recovery in the commercial vehicle industry, according to the CAAM.

With the current downward pressure on China's economy increasing and aggregate demand still insufficient, the stable operation of the auto industry needs the support of effective policies, the CAAM said.

In April, exports of vehicles from China were 376,000 units, up 170 percent from a year earlier up and 3.3 percent from March.

Among them, the export volume of NEVs was 100,000 units, up 840 percent year-on-year, down 28.6 percent from March.

In January-April, China's auto sales were 8.235 million units, up 7.1 percent from a year earlier.

NEVs sold 2.222 million units in January-April, up 42.8 percent year-on-year, with a market share of 27 percent.

NEV demand in China expected to pick up in Q2, analysts say

China's NEV penetration at retail was 32.3 percent in April, up 6.6 percentage points from 25.7 percent in April 2022 but lower than 34.2 percent in March.

Retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles (passenger NEVs) in China were 527,000 units in April, up 85.6 percent year-on-year but down 3.6 percent from March, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

This was lower than the CPCA's preliminary figure of 529,000 units released on May 6 and higher than its estimate of 500,000 units released on April 25.

Battery electric vehicle (BEV) retail sales in April were 370,000 units, accounting for 70.2 percent of all NEV retail sales. This represents a 73.5 percent year-on-year increase and a 4.3 percent decrease from March.

Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) retail sales in April were 157,000 units, contributing 29.8 percent of NEV retail sales, up 122.0 percent year-on-year and down 1.8 percent from March.

Retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 1.63 million units in April, up 55.5 percent year-on-year and up 2.5 percent from March.

Notably, this is the second time since 2010 that China's retail vehicle sales were higher in April than in March, the CPCA said.

The penetration of NEVs at retail in China was 32.3 percent in April, up 6.6 percentage points from 25.7 percent in April 2022 but down from 34.2 percent in March.

The penetration rate of NEVs was 56.5 percent for local brands, 23.8 percent for luxury brands and 4.4 percent for mainstream joint venture brands.

Wholesale sales of passenger NEVs in China were 607,000 units in April, up 115.6 percent year-on-year but down 1.7 percent from March.

This means that the penetration of NEVs at wholesale was 33.9 percent in April, up 5.9 percentage points from 28 percent penetration in April 2022 and up from 31 percent in March.

China's local brands had 49.5 percent penetration of NEVs at wholesale in April, compared to 35.5 percent for luxury brands and 4.1 percent for mainstream joint venture brands.

China exported 91,000 passenger NEVs in April, with BEVs accounting for 92.8 percent of the total. This represents a year-on-year increase of 1028.5 percent, up 29.4 percent from March, and contributes 31 percent of all passenger car exports.

China exported 35,886 units in April, SAIC passenger cars 21,450 units and BYD 14,827 units, the CPCA said.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) sold 75,842 China-made vehicles in April, including 35,886 units exported, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

This means that Tesla delivered 39,956 vehicles in China in April, with 47.32 percent of the vehicles produced at the Shanghai plant being exported.

By comparison, Tesla delivered just 1,512 vehicles in China last April, when none were exported, due to the Covid lockdown in Shanghai.

The US electric vehicle maker's factory in Shanghai currently produces only the Model 3 and the Model Y. Including exports, the two models sold 26,783 and 49,059 units in April, according to the CPCA.

The breakdown figures of Model 3 and Model Y sales in China are expected to be available in a few days.

Retail sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China in April were 527,000, with 370,000 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sold, according to the CPCA.

This means that Tesla's share of the NEV market in China in April was 7.58 percent and its share of the BEV market was 10.80 percent. These two figures were 14.12 percent and 20.02 percent respectively in March.

It is worth noting that Tesla's model is to produce cars for export in the first half of the quarter and for the local market in the second half.

Tesla slightly raised the prices of all its available models in China earlier this month, which the CPCA believes will be helpful in boosting sales.

Tesla's price increase is a good signal to dispel the wait-and-see mentality of consumers who are overly expecting price cuts, the CPCA said in a report today.

On May 2, the prices of the Model 3 and Model Y were all raised by 2,000 yuan ($290) in China, an increase of less than 1 percent.

On May 5, prices for the full lineup of the new Model S and Model X, which are not manufactured in China, were all raised by RMB 19,000.

China Apr NEV retail down 3% from Mar, preliminary CPCA data show

China's retail sales of passenger NEVs in April were 529,000 units, up 87 percent year-on-year, but down 3 percent from March, according to the CPCA.

China Apr NEV retail down 3% from Mar, preliminary CPCA data show-CnEVPost

China's new energy passenger car retail sales in April were 529,000 units, up 87 percent year-on-year, but down 3 percent from March, according to preliminary data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

Notably, the CPCA's estimate released on April 25 showed that retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China were expected to be around 500,000 units in April.

The higher figure released today means that the NEV market performed better in the last week of April than the CPCA expected at the time.

From January to April, retail sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China were 1.85 million units, up 37 percent year-on-year, the CPCA said.

Wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China were 600,000 units in April, up 105 percent year-on-year but down 4 percent from the previous month.

From January to April, wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China were 2.1 million units, up 42 percent year-on-year.

Retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 1.65 million units in April, up 58 percent year-on-year and up 4 percent from March, according to the CPCA.

This means that the penetration of new energy passenger vehicles at retail in April was 32 percent, down from 34.2 percent in March.

From January to April, retail sales of all passenger vehicles in China were 5.94 million units, unchanged from the same period last year.

Wholesale sales of passenger vehicles in China were 1.78 million units in April, up 87 percent from a year ago but down 10 percent from March.

From January to April, China's wholesale sales of passenger cars were 6.85 million units, up 7 percent from a year ago.

This means that in the first four months, China's auto market performed largely in line with the same period last year. This is not a good result, considering the sporadic outbreak of Covid in the first quarter of last year and the impact of the lockdown in Shanghai in April on the sector.

April sales were low and the production pace slowed, largely because many car companies were waiting to see if vehicles based on older emissions standards would be allowed to be sold for an extended period of time, according to the CPCA.

The following is the CPCA's weekly retail sales performance for the Chinese passenger vehicle market in April, as announced today:

Average daily retail sales of passenger vehicles in the first week of April were 37,000 units, up 47 percent year-on-year and up 8 percent from the same period in March.

Average daily sales for the second week of April were 48,000 units, up 81 percent year-on-year and up 24 percent over the same period in March.

Average daily sales for the third week of April were 57,000 units, up 93 percent year-on-year and up 31 percent over the same period in March.

Average daily sales for the fourth week of April were 81,000 units, up 40 percent year-on-year but down 4 percent from the same period in March.

China Deliveries Electric eMobility eV EV Data Insurance Registrations Li Auto Neta Nio Tesla Weekly Data XPeng

Insurance registrations for week ending Apr 30: Tesla 11,500, Li Auto 8,100, NIO 2,600

shared the numbers, saying its sales last week far outpaced those of other local new car-making brands.

Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) today shared sales figures for the major new car makers as well as luxury car companies in China for the last week of April, which is worth a look, even though many automakers have already announced deliveries for last month.

For the week ending April 24 to April 30, Li Auto sold 8,100 units, far more than any other new carmaker brand, it said today on Weibo.

Li Auto continues to be in the top five luxury brands selling in China, the highest-ranking Chinese brand on the list, outpacing other traditional luxury brands besides Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi in weekly sales, it said.

Li L7 delivered more than 10,000 units in its first full delivery month, making it one of the preferred luxury five-seat SUVs for more families, Li Auto said.

Li Auto didn't specify what statistic that sales figure was based on, though apparently it was insurance registrations. Its figures for the first three weeks of April were 7,200, 6,300 and 4,177.

Previously, we had access to those numbers every Tuesday, and it was Li Auto's practice to share some of them later to show off that it was leading the pack among car-making newcomers.

The major third-party providers of Chinese auto insurance registrations data, as well as Weibo bloggers, stopped sharing them in April, though Li Auto continues to share some of them.

Li Auto delivered 25,681 vehicles in April, another monthly high while surpassing the 20,000-delivery mark for the second consecutive month, according to data it released on May 1.

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

China’s NEV wholesale in April at about 600,000 units, CPCA estimates show

China's auto industry price war faded in April, easing consumer wait-and-see sentiment and releasing suppressed demand, the CPCA said.

China's wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles are expected to be 600,000 units in April, basically unchanged from March and up 114 percent year-on-year, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said in a report today.

In March, the 11 manufacturers with more than 10,000 wholesale sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs) contributed 80.7 percent of all wholesale sales, the CPCA said.

These companies are expected to sell 482,000 units in April, and the normal structure would put China's wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles in April at around 600,000 units, the CPCA said.

In January-April, China's wholesale sales of new energy passenger vehicles are estimated at 2.1 million units, up 43 percent year-on-year, according to the report.

The CPCA said the overall auto market continued the trend seen in late March as the price war in China's auto industry receded in April, easing consumer wait-and-see sentiment and releasing previously suppressed demand.

Due to the low base of last year and the recent continued strength of China's new energy passenger vehicle exports, car 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 NEV penetration is expected to reach 36 percent, the CPCA said, repeating its previous forecast.

China's new energy passenger vehicle sales were 6.5 million units in 2022, up 94 percent year-on-year, the CPCA noted.

Here are the CPCA's wholesale NEV sales for major car companies in April.

Tesla sells 75,842 China-made vehicles in Apr, CPCA data show

Tesla's April sales in China may have been negatively impacted by consumer expectations of price cuts. It raised the prices of all its models in China this week, seemingly aimed at dampening such expectations.  |  TSLA.US

Tesla sells 75,842 China-made vehicles in Apr, CPCA data show-CnEVPost

Tesla sold 75,842 China-made vehicles in April, including exports, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

That's up 4,916.01 percent from 1,512 units in the same month last year but down 14.66 percent from 88,869 units in March.

Last April's low base was due to disruptions to Tesla's production in China when Shanghai, where its plant is located, went into Covid lockdown at the end of March last year. The plant produces the Model 3 sedan as well as the Model Y crossover.

The sales include those in China as well as those for export, and the breakdown is expected to be available in the coming days.

In January-April, Tesla's China-made vehicle sales were 305,164, up 66.13 percent from 183,686 in the same period last year, data monitored by CnEVPost showed.

Tesla's April sales in China may have been negatively impacted by consumer expectations of price cuts.

The US electric vehicle maker cut prices for the Model 3 as well as the Model Y in several markets around the world in the first half of April, raising concerns about whether it would cut prices in China.

This may have caused many potential consumers to wait for Tesla to cut prices in China, thus delaying the purchase of the car.

On April 14, Grace Tao, Tesla's vice president of external affairs, shared several charts on Weibo showing that all versions of the Model 3 and Model Y available in the Chinese mainland are priced lower than in all other markets.

Tao shared these charts without comment, although she seemed to be suggesting at the time that Tesla would not be dropping prices in China.

On May 2, Tesla raised the prices of its full lineup of Model 3 and Model Y in China by RMB 2,000 ($290), a small margin that meant the move may be aimed more at dispelling consumer wait-and-see sentiment.

Earlier today, Tesla raised the prices of the new Model S and Model X in China, and also offered 3 years of free supercharging for the two more expensive models.

The Model 3 now starts at RMB 231,900 in China, the Model Y at RMB 263,900, the Model S at RMB 808,900 and the Model X at RMB 898,900.

China China EV Market Insight Electric eMobility eV EV Data Insights Monthly Data Nio Research Note

Deutsche Bank on Apr China EV sales: Li Auto shines while NIO struggles

Edison Yu's team continues to expect most automakers to be aggressive, as market share is a top priority.

China's major electric vehicle (EV) makers announced their April deliveries yesterday, and Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu's team provided their take, as usual.

"April sales were generally better than feared for most OEMs we track with the exception of NIO who is struggling at the moment from both weak demand for its sedans and a major production platform transition for its SUVs," the team said in a note sent to investors yesterday.

continues to impress, setting a monthly delivery record and showing continued strong traction for its three models in the premium SUV segment, the team said.

As a backdrop, Li Auto delivered a record 25,681 vehicles in April, surpassing the 20,000-delivery mark for the second consecutive month.

NIO deliveries fell further to 6,658 in April as the product switch continued. XPeng delivered 7,079 vehicles in April, essentially unchanged from March, and the company appears to be on the cusp of emerging from the mire of weak sales that lasted about one year.

Here is the full text of Yu's team's note.

April sales were generally better than feared for most OEMs we track with the exception of NIO who is struggling at the moment from both weak demand for its sedans and a major production platform transition for its SUVs.

Li Auto continues to impress, setting a record for monthly deliveries, demonstrating continued robust traction in the premium SUV segment with its 3 models.

's volume held in about flat MoM as new P7i ramps up.

Overall, we continue to expect most OEMs to be aggressive as market share is the #1 priority. Although there were no big price cuts announced at the Shanghai Auto Show, our view is that there is likely another wave of price cuts to come as industry demand remains soft.

Moreover, the price of lithium carbonate has dropped dramatically this year which provides more cushion on the gross margin side.

April OEM recap

Li Auto delivered 25,681 vehicles (+23% MoM, +516% YoY), beating our forecast and setting a new monthly record. This includes >10,000 units of the L7 in its first full month of deliveries (vs. 7,702 in March).

XPeng delivered 7,079 vehicles (+17% MoM; -55% YoY), slightly below our expectations. The P7i mid-cycle face-lift should help volume in May/June as management expressed confidence in the order book.

XPeng officially revealed the G6 at the Shanghai Auto Show last month and this will be the most important product for the company this year to grow sales (double current monthly sales by end of 3Q), set for late June deliveries.

NIO delivered only 6,658 vehicles (-36% MoM, +31% YoY), below our forecast. Demand for ET5 and ES7 appear to be getting weaker sequentially while the rest of the portfolio is undergoing a platform transition (except for ET7 getting an interior upgrade this month).

Deliveries of the new EC7 began on 4/28, a few weeks earlier than anticipated, suggesting operational execution is on track. The new ES6 is expected to begin deliveries toward end of May (NIO's best selling SUV model).

delivered sales of 8,101 vehicles (+22% MoM; +279% YoY). The average order value for 001 shooting break sedan is 336k RMB and 009 luxury MPV is 527k. Zeekr's upcoming X model is expected to garner higher relative volumes with starting price of just 190k (deliver in June, targeting 40,000 units for 2023).
