In the past September, what was the scene of new energy vehicles? According to data provided by the Passenger Car Association, sales of new energy narrow passenger cars in September were 111,000, achieving a year-on-year growth of 84.2% and a month-on-month growth of 18.5%. However, the cumulative sales from January to September this year were only 60.1 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 19.3%.
Affected by the dual impact of the epidemic and the reduction of subsidies, the domestic new energy vehicle market encountered an unprecedented cold winter in the first half of the year. However, the overall new energy vehicle market began to pick up after entering the second half of the year. Moreover, this year, a number of blockbuster new energy models have been launched, and the entire new energy vehicle market has been reshuffled.
Tesla was overtaken by Wuling
Judging from the sales rankings announced by the Passenger Car Association, Tesla has topped the new energy vehicle sales rankings for several consecutive months. It launched the Model 3, but was overtaken by an "little-known" model in September and became the "second child". The one that surpassed the Tesla Model 3 was none other than the Hongguang MINI EV, which was launched in July this year, with sales of 14,495 units in September.
But in terms of product strength, Hongguang MINI EV is not too shabby at all. It is so shabby that it does not even have airbags, and its maximum battery life is only 170km, but it is such a simple car. Why can micro electric cars defeat Tesla?
There are two reasons for the success of Hongguang MINI EV. First, it is cheap. Although this car does not require anything and can only be used for simple transportation, it is cheap, only about 30,000 yuan. , 30,000 yuan can’t buy it, you can’t buy it at a loss, you can’t be cheated, but you can buy a mobility scooter. The second is the formal "Laotoule". Micro electric vehicles worth about 30,000 yuan are basically "Laotoule", but Hongguang MINI EV can be registered and put on the road. With these advantages, it has seized the market of many informal "Laotoule" market.
Ideal surpasses Weilai
Ideal and Weilai are both relatively outstanding car companies among the new car-making forces, but the sales volume of Weilai ES6 has always been ranked first in Ideal In front of ONE, in September, the sales volume of Lideal ONE reached 3,504 units, successfully surpassing the Weilai ES6 and becoming the best-selling new energy SUV. It also set the best performance in the history of this model in a single month.
Currently, Li Auto only has one model. As one of the leading new car-making forces in China, Li Auto has always lagged behind NIO and Xpeng in the selection of models. Currently, NIO*** There are three models on sale, and the first sedan model is about to be released. Even Xpeng has two models on sale.
In recent times, there has been more and more news about Lili’s second model. It is reported that Lili’s second product may be equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine code-named CE15F provided by Xinchen Dynamics. Using extended-range power, the car is currently code-named Ideal X01 and may be launched in 2022.
BYD Han sales exceeded 5,000
If you want to say who is the most important new energy vehicle this year, it must be BYD Han. As the masterpiece of BYD, BYD Han achieved a substantial month-on-month growth of 40.3% in September. Among them, the sales volume of Han EV was 3,624 units, a month-on-month increase of 51%, and the sales volume of Han DM was 1,988 units, a month-on-month increase of 24.3%.
In October, the domestic Tesla Model 3 once again saw a price cut, with the starting price dropping to less than 250,000 yuan. This means that in the future, the domestic Tesla Model 3 will be as popular as BYD Han EV competes head-on in the market above 200,000 yuan, and the two are highly consistent in terms of price and positioning.
The most eye-catching thing about BYD Han is the "blade battery" it is equipped with. This battery not only solves the problem of insufficient battery life of lithium iron phosphate batteries, but is also much safer than ternary batteries. Lithium battery. It is precisely because of the application of "blade battery" that BYD Han EV has a cruising range of 605km, beating the Tesla Model 3.
Written at the end:
On the whole, the entire new energy vehicle market is gradually recovering in the second half of this year. Taking advantage of the peak sales season of the Golden Nine and Silver Ten, single-month sales have been achieved Breaking 100,000 vehicles. However, it is quite difficult to achieve the sales target set at the beginning of the year.
In October, with the price reduction of the domestic Tesla Model 3 again, what will be the market response? The author will continue to pay attention.
