AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/15 Report--

According to the latest retail data released by the Federation of passengers, the retail volume of narrow passenger cars in China in January 2022 was 2.079 million, down 5 percent from the same period last year and 1.3 percent from the previous year, of which 343000 were new energy passenger vehicles, up 129.2 percent from the same period last year and 27.9 percent lower than the previous month.

According to the auto industry concern statistics, according to the annual sales list of new energy vehicle companies, the top three car companies are BYD Automobile, SAIC GM Wuling and Chery Automobile, with sales of 92788, 29723 and 19451 respectively. The three car companies account for 41 per cent of the new energy vehicle market. In addition, a number of new power car companies also squeezed into the list, the performance is also more excellent, Xiaopeng, NIO, ideal are more than 90,000. As for joint venture brands, only FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen appear on the list and perform better in joint venture brands, but there is still a big gap compared with independent brands.

In terms of specific models, Hongguang MINIEV is still the top seller, leading a group of car companies with a score of 26682 vehicles, although it is 3.5% higher than the same period last year, but it is still not good enough compared with each month of 2021. This also led to a 1.0% decline in SAIC GM Wuling, becoming the only car company on the list to decline. In the list, we can also see many mini cars, such as Chery Ant, Changan Mercedes-Benz E-Star, QQ Ice Cream, etc., among which QQ Ice Cream has become a "dark horse", winning 9984 cars in the first month, which may become a threat to Hongguang MINIEV in the future.

The second and third places are both from BYD, including 26254 for Qin (including DM/EV) and 20722 for Song (including DM/EV). In addition, there are also a number of BYD new energy vehicles on the list, such as 12781 BYD (including EV/DM), 10602 BYD dolphins, 8847 Tang and 6596 yuan. At present, the EV model has blade battery support, DM model has DM-i hybrid system and blade battery support, BYD is not worried about selling.

Tesla's performance in January was mediocre, mainly because most of his products were exported overseas and only some models were sold domestically. Data show that Tesla sold 59845 vehicles in China in January, of which 40499 were exported and 19346 were sold domestically. In terms of specific models, Model Y retails 16358 vehicles and Model 3 retail 2988 vehicles. In other words, most of Tesla's overseas models are Model 3. According to Tesla's performance in China since the second half of 2021, its monthly sales have been basically maintained at 50, 000 vehicles, which may be Tesla's largest capacity performance, and it is difficult to make a new breakthrough unless a new factory is built. At present, the Shanghai factory undertakes the task of domestic export, so its domestic sales have been unstable, which may be alleviated after the factories in Berlin and Texas are put into production.

In terms of new power products, only the ideal ONE and Xiaopeng P7 appear on the list, of which the ideal ONE delivers 12268 vehicles, which is the only medium and large SUV on the list. The ideal ONE uses an incremental hybrid power system composed of a 1.2L three-cylinder driver and a dual motor. The rig is not directly involved in driving. Although it is equipped with a 1.2L three-cylinder driver, it does not affect its sales in terms of market reflection, or even leads a large number of new energy vehicles.

Throughout the current pattern of China's new energy market, with the exception of Tesla, the main voice is controlled by independent brands and car-building brands. Take BYD as an example, since the launch of "blade battery" + "DMi hybrid technology", BYD is back on track, and its sales have broken new highs in recent months. In addition, the performance of brands such as NIO, Xiaopeng, ideal and Nezha in the new power of car building also continues to be good in the market.

The rapid growth of new energy vehicles, to a certain extent, shows that consumers begin to accept new energy vehicles. When the quality, battery life and intelligence of new energy vehicle products have been significantly improved, consumers are willing to choose new energy vehicles. For car companies, do a good job in products, solve problems in time, do not kick the ball, do not shirk responsibility, consumers will still pay attention to new energy vehicles when buying cars.
