Insurance registrations for new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China continued to increase last week compared to the previous week, although the performance of major automakers was mixed.

For the week ending March 26, insurance registrations for all passenger vehicles in China were 400,400 units, up 37.64 percent year-on-year and up 29.02 percent from the previous week, according to information shared today by several auto bloggers on Weibo and WeChat groups.

Among them, the number of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles was 272,100, up 43.50 percent year-on-year and up 37.64 percent from the previous week.

Insurance registrations for NEVs were 128,300, up 26.63 percent year-on-year and up 13.89 percent from the previous week. This means that the penetration rate of NEVs was 32 percent last week.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) NEVs registered 43,490 units last week, up from 38,414 units the week before. In the first and second weeks of March, BYD's numbers were 38,932 and 37,141 units, respectively.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) saw 15,886 units for the week, down from 18,712 units the week before. Insurance registrations for Tesla vehicles in China were 13,266 and 17,032 in the first and second weeks of March, respectively.

This means that over the past four weeks, Tesla vehicles have had 64,896 insurance registrations in China.

If Tesla vehicles register the same number of insurance units this week as last week, it may deliver a record number of vehicles in China in March, surpassing the 77,938 units delivered in June 2022.

The past week has seen a rare price war in China's auto industry involving not only NEV makers, but traditional internal combustion engine automakers as well.

Rumors surfaced last week that BMW dealers were offering a massive subsidy for the all-electric BMW i3 in China, and that consumers who pay full price for the car can even get the model for RMB 120,000 to 180,000, less than half the retail price.

BMW insiders denied this, but sources at BMW dealers said they are indeed offering discounts, and that these measures were only introduced this month, local media Cailian reported last week.

For the BMW i3 eDrive35 L, which currently has a guide price of RMB 353,900, the price after discounts is RMB 248,000, the report said, citing BMW dealership sources.

Consumers will also receive an additional RMB 6,000 subsidy if they trade in their vehicles, the source said.

The increasing number of car companies joining the price war has led to increased consumer wait-and-see sentiment to avoid seeing price reductions shortly after purchasing a car.

Li Auto has introduced a consumer purchase price protection benefit that covers all of the company's currently available models -- Li L7, Li L8, Li L9.

For consumers who purchase these models, if the prices drops within 90 days of their order, then Li Auto will refund the difference.

The policy, which is available to consumers when they purchase the Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9, is primarily intended to make clear to them that Li Auto will not drop the prices, local media outlet The Paper said earlier today, citing salespeople from the company.
