On the evening of June 6, he Xiaopeng, chairman of Xiaopeng Automobile, one of the new power car companies of independent car manufacturing, posted a photo with Li Bin, founder of Xilai Automobile, and Li Xiang, CEO of ideal car, on his personal Weibo, accompanied by an article saying, "the three bitters are remembering and thinking about change." ".

From the picture of the three smiling, Li Bin sitting in the middle and holding the other two with both hands, it can be seen that the relationship between the bosses of these three independent car-making new forces is also very good. However, some helplessness is also revealed from he Xiaopeng's accompanying article "three bitterness".

In view of the current environment of new energy vehicles, as well as the living environment of new power enterprises, many netizens believe that "these three may be able to merge into one."

At the end of April this year, ideal car CEO Li Xiang publicly said that if only three of China's hundreds of new car manufacturers survive in the end, ideal Automobile will certainly strive to become one of them, and we hope that our comrades-in-arms will be NIO and Xiaopeng.

Xilai Automobile is a new power enterprise facing great financial pressure. In 2019, NIO realized revenue of 7.825 billion yuan, an increase of 58.05 percent over the same period last year; a net loss of 11.413 billion yuan in 2019, narrowing year on year, and a loss of 23.328 billion yuan in 2018. The cumulative delivery volume for the whole year of 2019 was 20565 vehicles, an increase of 82.1% over the same period last year.

Entering 2020, NIO also ushered in a number of good news. On April 29th, the project agreement of NIO China headquarters in Hefei, Anhui Province was formally signed, with an investment of more than 10 billion yuan. Strategic investors will invest 7 billion yuan in NIO China. This part of the money will also be "life-saving money". The delivery volume of NIO new cars is also on the rise. In May, the delivery volume of NIO reached 3436, an increase of 215.5% over the same period last year, with a total of 10429 new cars delivered in the first five months.

Affected by a number of news, NIO shares rose, closing at $5.59 as of June 5, EST.

Ideal car is a new energy car company founded by Li Xiang in July 2015. the first car, the ideal ONE, will be officially mass-produced in December 2019, with a new car price of 328000 yuan. As of May 27th, ideal ONE had produced 10, 000 vehicles and delivered more than 6500.

During the six months of delivery, the ideal car had a number of "low-level errors", including brake failure caused by the disappearance of electronic power, fire accident and so on.

Xiaopeng's second production model, P7, is about to be delivered, but judging from the pricing range of the car, facing price reduction competition from domestic Tesla Model 3, Xiaopeng is under great sales pressure. Statistics show that the number of Xiaopeng cars registered in April was 1234, ranking third among new power car companies.

With the continuous decline in the sales of new energy vehicles, many enterprises are facing difficulties, especially for the new power car companies that have not yet made a profit. At the same time, under the oppression of domestic Tesla, new power car companies may open "group heating".
