In Shanghai, China, on August 4, 2023, a Nio pop-up store is pictured. This store serves as a symbol of the booming Chinese electric car market. Chinese electric car companies Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto have all announced that they have delivered enough vehicles in August to meet their third quarter guidance. These companies are listed in the U.S. stock market, adding to their global reach and reputation.
Li Auto, in particular, has outperformed its competitors by delivering an impressive 34,914 cars in August. This number exceeds the projected range of 33,333 to 34,333 monthly deliveries for the third quarter. Notably, Li Auto delivered around 800 more cars in August compared to July. It is important to mention that Li Auto’s vehicles are not purely electric as they are equipped with a fuel tank to extend the battery’s range.
Nio, on the other hand, delivered 19,329 vehicles in August. Although this is a decrease of over 1,000 compared to July, it falls within the forecasted range of 18,300 to 19,000 monthly deliveries for the July to September period.
Xpeng has had slightly slower growth, with 13,690 electric car deliveries in August, following around 11,000 deliveries the previous month. However, the company introduced its new G6 coupe SUV in late June, and more than half of its August deliveries were of this model. Xpeng expects to deliver between 13,000 and 13,667 cars monthly during the third quarter. Furthermore, Xpeng recently announced its acquisition of Didi’s smart car assets, signaling its plans to develop a mass-market electric car to be launched next year.
BYD, a prominent Chinese electric car giant, is already present in the mass market and is expanding into the premium price range. In August, BYD reported sales of 145,627 purely battery-powered passenger cars, up from 134,783 vehicles in July.
China’s electric car market is highly competitive, with even state-owned brands like GAC’s Aion delivering an impressive 52,057 cars in August. It is interesting to note that Aion sells both premium-priced cars and more affordable models with price tags of about $20,000.
In terms of retail sales, recent data from the China Passenger Car Association showed that BYD, Aion, and Li Auto surpassed Tesla China in July.
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that Tesla has introduced a new, more expensive version of its Model 3 car with an improved driving range, further expanding its offerings in the market. This move showcases Tesla’s commitment to providing high-quality electric vehicles.
Overall, the Chinese electric car market continues to grow rapidly, led by companies like Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto. These companies are delivering on their promises and positioning themselves for future success in the global electric vehicle industry.
